A
New Oum Koulsoum Coffee Shop
Pleasant ahwa (coffeehouse) right at the heart of the souq, on a large terrace with welcome mist machines, where you can recover from shopping and haggling in the souq and watch the crowds without any hassle. On the menu are fresh juices (E£10 to E£15), hot and cold drinks and a good sheesha (E£10) as well as ‘professional Nespresso’ coffee (E£15).

B
Metropolitan Café & Restaurant
A pleasant, popular outdoor cafe, right on the Nile, in front of the Old Winter Palace Hotel. Beers (Stella E£15) and a wide selection of cocktails are available, served on a terrace with rattan furniture and mist machines. The perfect place to enjoy a sundowner, but apart from some snacks with the drinks, the food is pretty mediocre.

C
Maratonga Cafeteria
This friendly outdoor cafe-restaurant, in front of Medinat Habu, is the best place to sip a cold drink under a big tree after wandering through Ramses III’s magnificent temple, or have a delicious tagen (E£35) or salad for lunch. The view is superlative and the atmosphere is relaxing.

Sindbad Café
A large pleasant terrace in the grounds of the Wena Hotel, overlooking the back of Luxor Temple, with old rattan chairs. This is a laid-back friendly place serving some of the cheapest cold Stella beer in town, tea and sheesha and simple Egyptian fare including grills and salads.

D
Nile Terrace Café & Bar
The terrace in front of the Old Winter Palace Hotel is the most elegant place in Luxor to watch the sun slowly set over the Theban hills. Starched collars and gin and tonics are the rule here, but there is also ice-cold beer (E£35); or you can order afternoon tea if you prefer.

Dawar al-Umda

Kings Head Pub
A relaxed and perennially popular place to have a drink and shoot pool, the Kings Head tries to capture the atmosphere of an English pub without being twee. The laid-back atmosphere also means that women can come here without being harassed.

Cocktail Sunset
On a pontoon, which rumour has it once belonged to King Farouk’s father, on the Nile, this place is hugely popular for its congenial atmosphere, cocktails and ice-cold beers.

H
Murphy's Irish Pub
With polished wood and a family atmosphere, this pub is a nice place to escape to for a quick, cooling Stella beer or a long evening with friends.
