Dining in Eco Nubia

Eat

Solaih Nubian Restaurant

Nubian kitchen is rich with its recipes, but unfortunately these recipes are not commonly used right now among Nubians and started to disappear.
We aim in this phase to establish a Nubian restaurant that provides only Nubian cuisine with old and new recipes. The restaurant will be in a premium location on the island overlooking the famous Philae temple. All restaurant buildings, utilities, furniture, and even tableware will be made of eco-friendly material from the area.
