Marsam Restaurant

Luxor


A lovely place to stop for for dinner on a warm evening or for lunch while seeing the west bank sights – you can sit in the courtyard under the huge trees and look out at the backs of the Colossi of Memnon. Either way food is simple, mostly Egyptian and very good. Service is friendly and can be slow. Alcohol served.
