Aswan's Nubian kitchens
Mild tagines, spiced rice and flatbreads, served in the village houses.
€ Budget
Nubian cooking differs from Egyptian in its mild spices, its tamarind sauces and its long-simmered dishes. Several houses on the west bank and the islands serve meals by arrangement, often in a courtyard open to the river.
The extra bit
Give a day's notice: these meals are cooked to order, not served continuously.
Know before you go
The price often includes the boat crossing: ask explicitly before agreeing.
