Our Story
After years of hard work, Ayujidda finally opened its doors at the end of 2022. Built on the Nubian island of Heisa, the lodge embodies the unique character of its surroundings, offering guests a comfortable and authentic experience. Khairy's great grandmother lived in that old Nubian house on the place in the early 1900s. Hence, the name "Ayujidda" which means "mother of the mother" or "great grandmother" in the Nubian language, paying homage to the island's rich history and cultural heritage.
