Restaurant Name: Nubian Restaurant
We spent only one night in Aswan, and for dinner went to sample some traditional Nubian cuisine.
We had to take a small boat to an island in the middle of the river where there was a traditional restaurant that also offered Nubian "cultural" performances. This photo is of the sign that tells you where you need to go to catch the boat - it is across the road from the EgyptAir office.
On arrival at the restaurant, our group was seated right by the stage, and not long after our dinner arrived - a choice of a chicken or fish kind of curry like dish served with rice and flat bread.
But the best was yet to come - the show commenced with 3 musicians with different types of drums, and several different dancers. The music was VERY loud, but excellent. The highlight was the Whirling Dervish - more details under "Must See Activities"
Favorite Dish: To be honest, I didn't really enjoy the food, but then I am quite a fussy eater.....but it was an enjoyable experience!
