El Fishawy Cafe
Not many cafés are more than 200 years old, but El Fishawy in Cairo’s historic bazaar can date its opening to before the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1797. Today, it is run by the sixth generation of the same family. Over the years, the cafe has attracted famous patrons like Nobel Prize-winning author Naguib Mahfouz and Egypt’s King Farouk. Tourists mix with locals who come to drink tea (prepared in the traditional sand way) and smoke shisha. Choose between chairs outside or the interiors with a great patina.

Marsam
The oldest guesthouse on the west bank of Luxor, Marsam, is set on a farm amidst lush gardens and is a lovely spot for breakfast or lunch. The menu varies daily, offering simple traditional fare. Most ingredients come from local markets and producers. All entrees come with housemade garlic olives, Egyptian bread, delicious salads, and desserts.
As you dine, soak up the storied history and the various iterations of the property, dating back to the late 19th Century. Most notable is that in the 1940s, Sheikh Ali Rassoul acquired the Marsam Guesthouse and transformed it into a renowned gathering spot for artists, earning it the nickname “Sheikh Ali’s Hotel,” during which time it became an academic hub for scholars and travelers interested in Egyptian culture and heritage.

Pier 88 Nile River
Located on a docked barge on the Nile off of Zamalek island, Pier 88 is a sophisticated Italian restaurant on the boat's upper deck with views of the Nile. In warm weather, tables are out on the deck (also a good choice to avoid cigarette smoke) or inside. As this spot is popular with locals, it’s smart to book in advance.
