The best restaurants Philae

Set high above Lake Nasser, this restaurant is an ideal stop-off point after a visit to the Temple of Isis. Facing the landing stage and the dam, with the muezzin playing in the background, you can enjoy the Nubian ambience: whitewashed walls and brightly colored drawings. Ask for the lowest tables with a direct view of the lake. The food is fine, based around fish and chicken and enhanced by fragrant vegetables. The owners also have an adjoining guest-house, itself on this wonderful site. We recommend it!
