This friendly outdoor cafe-restaurant, in front of Medinat Habu, is the best place to stop after wandering through Ramses III’s magnificent temple. Sip a cold drink under a big tree or have a delicious tagen (a stew cooked in a deep clay pot) or salad for lunch. The view is superlative, the atmosphere is relaxing and the staff super friendly.
