Aswan Moon — Egyptian / Nubian, Aswan
Aswan Moon Restaurant is famous for its felucca views and fresh Nile fish — the combination of watching the traditional sailing boats pass on the Nile while eating the fish that the same river provides makes it one of the most naturally immediate dining experiences in Egypt.
The cooking is honest Egyptian riverside cooking: the grilled fish, the ful and falafel, the rice and bread, and the fresh squeezed juices that the Nile Valley tradition demands. The fish arrives from the Nile each morning; the kitchen prepares it with the directness that fresh river fish deserves.
The drinks programme includes the sugarcane juice, the hibiscus tea, and the cold beverages that the Aswan heat demands alongside the fresh fruit juices.
Aswan Moon is the restaurant for experiencing what the Nile actually looks like from a table: the feluccas passing, the current visible, and the fish you’re eating arriving from the same water.
