Restaurants that have closed or have been renamed
Abu Ali
Upstairs srestaurant on the bank of the Nile, which took over from the Ibis. It has now also closed and the bulding has been demolished.
Benz
This very small but popular restaurant serving Italian meals is still there, but is closed down. It is possible that Benz may reopen in the same or another place at some future time.
The Dragon
The original Dragon next to the Nile Palace hotel has closed. It has merged with the Sinouhe restaurant, which used to have an Egyptian and international menu but now serves the Dragon's chinese menu as well.
The Ibis
The Ibis, on the West Bank, was only open for a short while but closed and re-opened as the Abu Ali restaurant. That restaurant has also now closed and the building has been demolished.
Jamboree
The Jamboree had to closed because it has now been demolished as part of the city centre changes. A new Jamboree is being built in the town centre.
Marhaba
The Marhaba restaurant used to be above the rather untidy tourist shopping complex next to the (now demolished) New Winter Palace. The Marhaba closed as part of the city centre renewal programme which will result in the entire complex being demolished and replaced by a luxury hotel.
Pals
This restaurant used to be where the Puddleduck restaurant is now.
Queens Coffee
This has now opened as Queens Broodje Holland, a Dutch sandwich bar.
Thebes
The Thebes restaurant and Cleopatra bar, above the Grand, is named Thebes restauant and Cleopatra bar in one place and Cleopatra restaurant and Horses and Coach pub in another place. (Yes, we know it should be Coach and Horses, but Horses and Coach is what it is called!)
