Lunch and snacks
For a snack in town you have a choice of five Nile-side restaurants and
a bowling club along the lower corniche, a few restaurants around the market and a group of restautants behind the temple.
If you want a Nile-side meal on the East Bank we have a marginal preference for El
Kababgy, opposite the Old Winter Palace, but none of them is particularly good or good value. We think it is worth crossing the Nile and trying a restaurant on the West Bank, such as the Abu Ali.
For a better low cost snack on the East Bank, but without the Nile-side views, we prefer Hammes or Sindbad to the Nile side restaurants. They are next to each other, behind Luxor Temple, between McDonalds and the Swiss Inn (formerly the Mercure Inn).
Fast food
McDonalds is behind Luxor Temple in the centre of town. We prefer Snack
Time, almost next door. More variety, excellent prices, more recently fitted
out and excellent views.
At the other end of town Pizza Hut and KFC are together by the roundabout
just beyond the Isis hotel. There are plenty of other (many would say better) local pizza restaurants, especially along Television Street (click for a map).
