Wadi Halfa' Restaurants

Next to the Funduq an-Nil are a couple of basic eating places...as Wadi Halfa fills up as soon as a boat or train arrives, and as both forms of transport offer little in the way of nourishment, everyone is after the same thing on arrival, and it is a chance to relax a bit. These eating places have various plates of meat, bowls of fuul or addis, and possibly fish if you ask nicely, and there are tea ladies ready to make you a hot drink dotted around the place too. On the boat and train, new friendships are made, so big groups of fellow travellers sit and drink tea here in the evening. A mix of nationalities (Sudanese, Egyptians and a smattering of khawajas), men and women (one of the few places where this happens outside Khartoum), and a touch of music...it is almost a party atmosphere, or as close as you can get in Wadi Halfa!

Favorite Dish: Fuul or addis are the vegetarian options, while meat-lovers can choose from all sorts of odd looking cuts sizzling away on a huge heated stone...if you lack the language, go up and point to what you want.
