This is an Internet space for the promotion of the study of the Medieval period of Sai Island in North-Sudan. It has also the ambition to function as a forum for discussions related to Medieval Nubia and post-Medieval Sudan, as well as the future of the Nile Valley and the protection of its natural and cultural landscape.
The Medieval Sai Project is an idea and a realization of Alexandros Tsakos and Henriette Hafsaas-Tsakos, sharing a life between Norway and Greece. They are the agents of the Greek-Norwegian Archaeological Mission (GNM) and the founders of the Forening for gresk-norsk samarbeid innenfor kultur og humaniora.
