Aswan Travel Forum

Two of us are travelling to Egypt this weekend - 20 February 2009 - and will be staying at Isis Island hotel in Aswan for one week. Please can anyone give us some idea of what meals cost, on average, in Aswan as we don't necessarily want to spend US$25 on the hotel's buffet meal....every meal!!

We're also going to Sharm el Sheikh, but I gather there are hundreds of reasonably priced restaurants there to choose from. However, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

G"day
i hope you ll have pleasant and enjoyable stay in Aswan.
most meals cost around 10 to 20 Egyptian Pounds.
fish is very very cheap in Aswan(cause of lake Naser).
as well there is the fast food chains.
try the local meals Kushari,Broadbeans and flafel or Kebab.
enjoy
Cheers

Try Makka Restaurant on Saad Zalolo Street in Aswan, all cab drivers know the way. Food cost anywhere from 20-50 L.E. (5-10 USD). Aswan Sunset is also a nice place to go lots of locals go there for dinner in the evening they serve dinner in a patio area. Nice in the evening at sunset, very relaxing. Prices at the Sunset run a little higher but worth it (10-20 USD). Sharm El Sheikh has lots of restaurants, all of them outside the resort hotels are located in the Naama Bay area. Food in restaurants in this area may be a little higher because it is a tourist area.
