  • Look for this sign to catch the boat - Aswan
    Look for this sign to catch
    the boat

    We spent only one night in Aswan, and for dinner went to sample some traditional Nubian cuisine. We had to take a small boat to an island in the middle of the river where there was a traditional restaurant that also offered Nubian "cultural" performances. This photo is of the sign that tells you where you need to go to catch the boat - it is across the road from the EgyptAir office. On arrival at the restaurant, our group was seated right by the stage, and not long after our dinner arrived - a choice of a chicken or fish kind of curry like dish served with rice and flat bread. But the best was yet to come - the show commenced with 3 musicians with different types of drums, and several different dancers. The music was VERY loud, but excellent. The highlight was the Whirling Dervish - more details under "Must See Activities"

    To be honest, I didn't really enjoy the food, but then I am quite a fussy eater.....but it was an enjoyable experience!

    Outside hotels, there aren't that many good options if you're planning a gastronomic adventure in Aswan. It is no wonder then that I nearly had all of my meals at Aswan Moon restaurant, which was conveniently located across my hotel. Aswan Moon is the best among the three restaurants on the Corniche - two being Emy and Saladin. They serve basic Egyptian food and some standard international fare. Aswan Moon's most coveted assets are its riverside location and its friendly staff. Unfortunately, they don't serve alcohol (this is a Muslim country after all), so thoughts of having a cold Stella after a hard day of sightseeing were dashed. Oh well, one large Coke, please. With lots of ice.

    Try the fish dishes here. Love the grilled fish with zaatar (local herb).

    I am a big fan of pizza and this place serves the best local version - called fiteer - cooked the traditional way. They offer all the usual flavors (sans pork, of course), or if you can't make up your mind, try their all-topping pizza for less then USD 5. Portions are big, so their regular should be good for two.

    Dinner Buffet on the Jasmin!

    Since we were on a 3-day cruise, we ate several meals on our cruise ship. I imagine the buffets on the cruise ships are fairly similar. Ours had an excellent, very friendly staff. Breakfast was great and the juice was free, but we had to pay separately for drinks during lunch and dinner. The bottled water was the same price as you could find in the cities, so many times we went ahead and purchased water here for our day of travel. The food wasn't quite as good as I've had on an ocean cruise, but there were usually several tasty dishes and plenty to fill you up. I was rather disappointed with their desserts, because there wasn't any chocolate in any of them! :)

    There were many tasty selections, but they didn't have labels, so many times I wasn't totally sure what I was eating :)

    Reputedly where Agatha Christie wrote Death On the Nile. I went along for high tea with the words ringing in my ears "You must dress up for the occasion". Unfortunately the timing was against me. The previous night I had been at a Nubian village feast and then spent the night on the felucca. Up at three to join the convoy to Abu Simbel. Back to Aswan in time for a quick bite and straight on to the camel for a two hour ride to a monastery. With no time to change let alone shower I turned up for high tea, smelling none too fragrant, dirty and dusty, but nevertheless hungry. The tea was served on the lawn and the sandwiches and pastries were as tasty as they were small, English tea almost compulsory!! The whole thing was quite surreal but the wonderful sunset over the Nile was so very memorable.

  • A local restaurant tucked away in the market area. Food typical Egyptian/Middle Eastern. It's so traditional that it is very popular with tourists.

    The lentil soup is great. The kofta and kebab are very tasty .

    We went to Aswan Moon on the river front & as you can see we had a beautiful sunset. We had such a brilliant evening there, on the table behind us were 6 Nubian Men all impressively dressed in their white robes Throughout our meal they kept throwing amusing comment over to us & then later joined us. They were so funny, they had us in stitches for hours. An excellent night (~_~)

    Sunser over the old nile

    Located on a hill overlooking Aswan and the Old Nile is the Nubian Museum and next to it the Cafe. There is a terrace where you can sit ... and, if you time it right, watch the sun set over the Nile and the desert. I don't know how the Museum is, because we were too late for that, but the view is definitely worth a visit!

    You can eat here, we only had tea and sweets. The Egyptian tea (hot, sweet and minty) is good, even on a hot day.

    The Asswan Panorama is one of several restaurants along the waterfront as I recall. The window table that we had peered across the river, although we did eat at night and actually saw little of the water from our table. Even so, the Nubian service and food was really great. It was in fact at this restaurant that the unique Nubian style culture finally came through to me. Besides the tall black Muslim man who was our waiter, the food was served in a way that was generally more sophisticated than the usual Arabic grub from northern Egypt. The restaurant serves fresh fruit juices when in season, herb drinks, and both bedouin and bishareen coffee. The menu also features chicken, pigeon, hamburgers, vegetarian food, and Asswanese Tagen. The price for the entire meal was under $10- but worth a lot more by my standards.

    We had fresh water fish kabobs from Lake Nasser that was charcoal grilled. What I really remember was the Bishareen Coffee after the meal. The coffee was served at the table in a unique leather covered ceramic bottles, over a wooden incense holder that provided additional exotic aromas. The rich black coffee was then poured into small Arabic style cups. I liked this so much that I later found in town a place where to buy the coffee bottle and wooden holder.
