Nubian Dream Tours Reviews

Its an awesome place to chill out in Elephantine Island. The staff is amazingly nice, friendly and VERY helpful

Resto very nice. Super frame and welcome. Several dishes offered. We thought they were wrong but no, it was for hospitality.

We visited the place twice through our 5 days visit of Aswan, they deliver super fresh meat and chicken. Staff are very friendly and explaining. Their chef is authentic Nubian, experience you will always think of for some time after leaving!
Thank you guys for all the hot and heartwarming food.

Oh i like it so much, people here are professionals, Hot and cold drinks , Shisha, nice music.

This restaurant is NOT a non-smoking restaurant. It is a SMOKING RESTAURANT. If you're a NON SMOKER, please AVOID!

However, excellent food and friendly waiter

Wonderful, relaxed Rasta atmosphere calmed us perfectly. They served a great vegetable tagine with a loaf of proper local bread, and were very generous with strong WiFi, comfy cushions, genuine smiles and all the time you wanted to scan the Nile. Conveniently located right next to the ferry, they can help with directions.

Good location to see the city but expensive food and bad cooking

Nubian dreams restaurant is one of the best places to eat on elephantine island. Thanks Ali jamaica

Excellent! I would have liked to be able to make it my canteen

Amazing spot. Home made food. Come check them while your here.

Nice food at the Nile! Great atmosphere friendly host, awesome music!

Nice spot along the Nile River and away from the noises. Take the public ferry next to KFC which runs all day to get from mainland to the restaurant. Tourists pay 5 LE per person per way. Staff are friendly and tossed in some complimentary items like potatoes and cold watermelon. Home to a very cute & persistent cat looking for food.

Stayed on the island and ate here for every meal other than breakfast! The staff are very friendly and hospitable. I would recommend to anyone vising the island or staying Aswan, just take the ferry over near the KFC.

The place is very hard and the service is above Almtaaaaaz I swear to God who Mejrbh goes there lost Ktiyier and Haifa in many Aswan ... deserves 10 Stars
Location and service

Lovely. So chilled. Great staff. Great view. Food is simple, fresh, tasty, and great value. Kept coming back.

Great staff and atmosphere. Traditional Nubian/Eritrean coffee was nice to try.

You entertained us very well. The location is fantastic. It's at dinner.

What a wonderful place to visit and relax their, friendly stuff and great hospitality

Amazing place with amazing coffee and amazing people! Just amazing!

Completely incredible. Most friendly staff. Most delicious finger licking scrumptious meals made in quick time. Beautiful view. I love it so so so much.

This place is great! Great food, great service and staff. It's family owned and ran!

Taste of food is so good, also the view is wonderful. The owner of the place Mr Ali was so helpful it was a great Experiment.

In case you love sharing a table for 4 with 6 people you don't know, prefer food shared only 70 minutes after you ask for it and a menu that has 12 options from which only 2 are available at a time for a fair price of double the normal in Egypt, then don't think twice, this is the place for you. Oh, and I forgot, 15 minutes after ordering the waiter will come back and ask you to remind him about what you ordered.

Great food, we ate here for 3 nights in a row. Amazing spot near the water with very relaxing vibe. Dishes can easily be shared.

Just good people ! Food was nice. Location was a little hard, but great colorful atmosphere

wonderful place
Last need fairy tale

Nicely decorated place with beautiful view, good food and cheerful staff!

Lovely food, very relaxed vibe. Meal for 5 with drinks ~600 EGP. Had the grilled fish, grilled chicken, fried chicken, vegetables. Served with bread and rice. Nubian coffee, tamarind juice, mint juice were all good.

So relaxed and so nice after coming from a big city. Also food was very delightful

They are a charming and magical town I would return a thousand times to visit them.

This place is awesome! Amazing view and food to die for!

This places is a real nice break from the bad experiences. The staff is so great and the food is delicious. Best that I ate in Egypt.

Fantastic atmosphere, great view over the Nile and excellent food

Wonderful spot on the Elephantine Island, with traditional Nubian tagines, coffee, tea, beer, and snacks in a very relaxed, hostel-like atmosphere. Easy to stay for a long time sipping drinks and watching the Nile go by.

so this place is like a dream, the food is so good, the view is so lovely, and the people here are so nice,

If you guys like traditional nubian food i recommend to come it here. They do have shisha and they have a nice view of the nile river during the day and also at night.

The most beautiful cafe in Aswan! I recommend everyone come here ... very friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere and delicious food.

Very relaxing place, with a quiet terrace on River Nile. Food is very tasty and local, Egyptian and Nubian. All prepared by the owner's mother. Staff is very pleasant: I feel like at home, with my family. High value for money. Let's try it!

Incredible place, do not hesitate to visit it! If you come to Aswan you have a must stop!
Mahmoud lovely. Delicious and typical food, to enter the island they pay 5 LE the crossing by boat and take 1 minute.

Great atmosphere and very friendly people! They are so welcoming! And the food is fantastic with large portion size. Every main meal comes with bread, salad, veges and hummus .
They also serve beer - pint for 50Le.

The best meal we had in Aswan. Homemade cooking, beautiful enviroment and perfect location to see the Nile next to the north ferry harbor.

Very nice and cozy place. Nice drinks and friendly people. Good Shisha too.

This place is truly a dream, the staff are very nice and helpful. The food is surprisingly tasty and always fresh.
It's not very costly, a meal for 2 costs about 15$ with drinks.

The cafe is popular with the locals.
There is no menu and only one food choice. On the day we visited the option was fish and vegetable tagine for 70 egp (tourist price I'm sure).

Best Food of Aswan ! Thanks Ali and all his family ! See you soon !

This was my favorite restaurant in Egypt so far. The owner Ali Jamaica was extremely friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable and certainly worth every pound. My recommendation is to get a fresh fruit juice, I ended up getting another one because it was so good and fresh. 10/10 would go again.

Nice atmosphere and a mellow vibe but the food prices were too expensive.

Me and my partner went for dinner last night and it was amazing! It s a family run business which is great and you could definitely tell that a lot of love goes into their food. The portion sizes were huge and the food itself was delicious.

The mains are about 120 EGP which is incredibly reasonable considering how much food there is and the quality of it. The atmosphere of the place was great too- we sat looking over the Nile listening to the Nubian music.

The restaurant is on Elephantine Island and it s very easy to get to- the ferry comes about every 10 minutes and the dock is literally right next to the restaurant. It s only a two minute ferry ride across the Nile and it runs until midnight as well so you can go at any time. We will definitely be going back and I highly recommend going here if you re in Aswan.

My favorite place in Aswan!
The setting is perfect for a cozy chill outing, the menu has a great variety and good quality, and the service is the absolute best. The staff are funny and friendly, and they make you feel at home.
If you are ever in Aswan you must visit this place! You will fall in love with it just like I did.

Amazing food!! Lovely staff, had a fantastic meal here and would highly recommend!

Delicious Egyptian home cooking. Took awhile to find the public ferry to restaurant (ferry is behind KFC) but there s no sign ferry so ask someone. Once you find it, pay 5EGP for a round trip on ferry and ferry will take you directly to the restaurant. Frequent ferry service and restaurant open late. We had a fish tangine and beef tangine. Both were made-to-order, piping hot and delicious. The rice was also yummy Costs us 350EGP for 2 main courses, 2 beers, and bread ( 20USD as of Nov 2018). A bargain price for dinner. Service served with a smile. Highly recommend

Food was fresh but average quality, for example there was msg flavoring in the rice. The portion size is big enough for two people to share, as indicated by the price which is about double the average for one portion. They speak some English. Service was very slow, even to take a soft drink out of the fridge took about 20 minutes. Staff were friendly and can pack leftovers for takeaway. Nice view of the river but I wouldn t come back.

Very nice view of the nile and the shore of Aswan.
To get there take the boat (1 every 15 minutes from the pier near the burgerking, 5lbs per crossing).
The food is simple, homemade and by the minute.
Good value for money, the servers are nice with the charm of Nubian nonchalance :)

High
Price per value

Had a delicious meal, tried a tangine. Thoroughly enjoyed the live music, the traditional kisir, the Nubian tambour. Wish I'd had more time for another visit. Definitely on the cards for my next visit.

Delicious Nubian Egyptian meal, in a lovely spot over the Nile River. So relaxing and service is excellent!!

Such a chilled place to sit, look across the Nile and watch the world go by. They do a great Nubian coffee as well as food and shisha. Open from 8am till 2am :)

I had dinner today in this restaurant and I am so satisfied that I didn t wait to put my comment haha! The food is really delicious!! We ate Nubian food really tasty with lot of flavour. It is a familly business and the cooking is fresh, they cook just minutes before you ordered. It has a wonderful Nile view it is a very colorful and lovely restaurant! People who served the food is really nice, happy and very carry! We will definetely come back to this warm, joyful and tasty restaurant! You should come as well! You really do! Thanks for such a lovely experience! They deserve a very good review!

Nice location above jetty and friendly staff but you can find better on the island.

Great location right on the banks of the Nile, simple food and cold beer included.

Fresh, home cooked meals. Chicken, beef, camel, pigeon, fish and vegetable tagine or barbecue. Fresh juices and Nubian Jabana coffee. Alcohol is available as well as many flavours of shisha.
Amazing views of The Nile River and Aswan city from the colourfully decorated terrace.
Friendly Nubian staff who speak English and Arabic. Nothing is too much trouble to make your visit memorable.

We found it to be a bit pricey, but the food was very good. We had spicy fish curry tagine with rice and it was amazing.

Nubian Dream Restaurant is one of the best places to eat on Elephantine island ! This family has beautiful felucca s and can take you on amazing overnight felucca trips for reasonable prices. The family is really welcoming and will tell you all about Nubian culture. I surely recommend a felucca overnight trip!

Can recommend this place, very good food and plenty, great view of the Aswan skyline and conveniently located next to the ferry. Very friendly staff too! You can smoke shisha too, as far as I could tell no alcohol but this was no problem for me.

Dined at the Nubian Dream with our 4 children while we stayed at the Movempick for 3 nights. Very good tagine and mezze. Very friendly Australian / Egyptian owner. We went there by motor boat, driven by a Nubian we met on the pier of the hotel. Small post-dinner stroll in the Nubian village where an impressive calm and gentleness reign.

Food was great.
Delicious!!
Freshly cooked .
Ali was amazing host and very friendly

Nubian dreams is one of the best nubian restaurant in Aswan. Go and visit dont miss it

A magical view, overlooking the Nile, friendly stuff and clean place.

Amazing food ..lovely staff .had a fantastic meal here and would highly recommend. Thanks Ali Jamaica

Cool! Ali is a very good man helps you in everything. I recommend it 100 percent, has a restaurant and eat delicious beers sold is scarce in most hostels.

SCAM OF THE CENTURY
Waiting for an hour to be served dishes of questionable freshness. Staff unwelcome and all at inadmissible rates (150LE / person or three times the normal price). Go your way. If you want to taste a real Nubian meal for 50LE, go to the El Amin guest house, located just opposite.
