Why Travelers Love Solaih Nubian
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The restaurant is right across from the Philae Temple, just a short boat ride. From the patio you get great view of the many temples across the water. The food is surprisingly good, I expected basic tourists food but maybe I was hungry so everything was tasty. Our beef and chicken clay pot was super hot and flavorful. Amazing Nubian food. We had soup, veggies, beef, fish and a refreshingly chilled crème Brulee like dessert. Everything served piping hot and deliciously seasoned. We totally didn’t expect the food to be that good. The view is directly across the water from the archaeological wonders can imagine a better place for lunch. The place is truly magical! It is located right in front of the Philae Temple, offering a breathtaking view of an island embraced by the water, surrounded by rocky islets. The fresh air, the enchanting sky, and the sun, which feels like it heals the soul, make the experience unforgettable. However, the service is poor, and the staff is unfriendly, which detracts from the overall experience.
