Nubian Dreams Restaurant — Nubian / Egyptian Traditional, Aswan
Nubian Dreams is a cherished project with 50 years of hospitality experience, situated on Elephantine Island offering an authentic Egyptian culinary experience with various local dishes, providing stunning views of the Nile River in a traditional Nubian setting. The island position — Elephantine Island is accessible by felucca from both banks — provides one of the most naturally atmospheric dining settings available in Egypt.
The cooking takes the Nubian and Egyptian food tradition seriously: the kisra (Nubian bread), the mulah (okra stew), the grilled fish preparations of the Nile tradition, and the rice dishes of the Upper Egyptian cooking heritage all appearing in forms that honour the tradition.
The drinks programme includes the fresh juices, sugarcane juice, and Egyptian tea that the Nubian hospitality tradition demands.
Nubian Dreams is the Aswan restaurant for those who want the authentic Nubian culinary experience in its most historically and naturally resonant setting: 50 years of accumulated hospitality knowledge, Elephantine Island, and the Nile at the First Cataract.
