This Nubian restaurant, set on an island just beyond Elephantine Island, burnt down and was rebuilt in early 2017. It continues to serve excellent Nubian food in large and lavishly decorated portions. It can be a wonderfully atmospheric place to spend an evening as the setting, opposite the Old Cataract Hotel and the ruins of Abu, is spectacular.
To get here, there’s a free ferry from the dock opposite the EgyptAir office.
