Ethnographic Museum
Dakhla’s wonderful museum, attached to Dar al-Wafdeen Government Hotel, is only opened on request: ask at the tourist office or at the Cultural Palace, where the museum’s manager, Ibrahim Kamel, can be found. The museum is laid out as a traditional home, with different areas for men, women and visitors. Displays of clothing, baskets, jewellery and other domestic items give an insight into oasis life.

Said Shihad
Owner Said is on to a good thing here: grilling up a meat-centric feast nightly to a dedicated following of hungry locals. The lamb shish kebab is the thing to go for – perfectly succulent and served with potatoes in a tomato sauce, rice and tahini.

Dawia Restaurant
The wall-to-wall, sparkling-white tiles signal one of the cleanest places to eat in town. As well as the usual Egyptian victuals, Dawia throws caution to the wind: it fries up burgers and even experiments with several pasta dishes.
