Open Air Tent Café in the Middle of Nowhere | Kom Ombo & Aswan

After visiting the Kom Ombo temple and the Crocodile museum, our tour guide suggested to have a little break in a tent café, and everyone agreed. We drove about half an hour and reached our destination, which was in the middle of nowhere.

The place had several sections. One section looked like tents and was covered by fabric on the top and on the side. These fabrics had native artworks or designing. The passage cutting through these tent-sections had carpet on the ground and on the side there were small objects representing local culture and pottery.

Other sections were open with shade from bamboo stalks or similar trees with chairs and tables to sit. These sections looked to me like those used at restaurants and the tents were for relaxing purposes.

I also noticed they had several gates made of plants and orchids or something similar. I even saw a wall and a mini-castle made of mud a little farther away.

The whole place had a nice vibe and the Bedouin-style Arabic music added more charm to it. We all sat to have a drink. I ordered a tea, which came with fresh mint and sugar. Like other Egyptian teas I tried before, this one tasted very good. I was not sure why the tea tasted so good and different in Egypt. The tea costed 20 LE or around $1.70 CAD.

From here, we would head to The Temple of Horus at Edfu or simply known as the Temple of Edfu.
