B
Nubian House
This laid-back Nubian café and restaurant is the place to be at sunset, with spectacular views over the First Cataract. Sit on traditional wooden benches on the huge shady terrace for a mint tea and sheesha (water pipe). To get here, follow the road past the Nubia Museum for about 1km (15 minutes' walk). Take a right just past a development of upmarket housing (many still under construction), or take a taxi after dark.

C
Nubian Beach
Wonderful Nubian cafe-restaurant set in a quiet garden on the west bank of the Nile, against the backdrop of a towering sand dune. During the heat of the day or on cold winter nights, there is a beautifully painted room indoors. The food is simple but good, and alcohol is served – sometimes with live Nubian music.

Emy
On a double-decked boat moored on the Nile next to the Aswan Moon, this is where the Nubian felucca captains hang out, as it is the only place where cool beers (Sakkara, Stella) are served. The menu includes a selection of salads, Egyptian and international dishes, and excellent fresh juices.

D
Aswan Moon Restaurant
The once-popular hang-out no longer serves alcohol, but it remains a pleasant place for dinner. The menu ranges from basic Egyptian and international dishes, including mezze (E£8), pizzas (E£25 to E£30) and grills (E£35).

E
Nubian Restaurant
Sitting on a tiny island south of Elephantine Island, the Nubian Restaurant has quite mediocre Nubian food, but does an after-dinner folkloric show, popular with tour groups. A free boat departs opposite Egypt Air.

Haramein Foul & Ta’amiyya
A tiny takeaway place hidden among the low-rise apartment blocks, this is where Aswanis go when they want good fuul (fava bean paste) and ta’amiyya.
