The Panorama is one of the best restaurants in Aswan, even though it is in the Mövenpick's eyesore tower. The food is good, the room elegant and the service friendly and efficient. The real draw, however, is the 360-degree view of Aswan, the river and the desert – spectacular at sunset, glittering at night.
The menu is mostly North African – mezze, tagines, kebabs, Red Sea fish – but also includes curries and some Italian dishes.The three-course set menu costs LE350. There's a long cocktail menu and a full wine list, too.
