Temple View Restaurant & Cafe — Restaurant in Al Baairat Village

It might've been some time since you, while traveling around upper Egypt, have enjoyed real espresso. Stop in here at this brand new spot that Billy opened just a month ago.

(He could be a Jon Batiste impersonator!)

My latte was delicious, and 80 egp. We ordered some fresh juice too. While these prices arent the cheapest you will see around the town, the atmosphere is nice for people/boat watching as the Nile flows by, and the corner location makes it a decent meeting spot when trying to link up with others.

Billy's service and hospitality were super refreshing, as we had just trudged a ways from our terrible first experience in Luxor at a creepy (hostile) hostel further down the road, and stopped in this inviting new cafe to regroup and hatch a new plan. We enjoyed beverages and were not rushed, as we sat in the shade, charged our devices, and found a suitable place to lodge for a few days. Billy definitely helped redeem our first impressions of Luxor (especially of Qarna).

Amazing place! One of the most welcoming and friendly hosts in all of Egypt can be found here in Bomba, the owner!

We stumbled across this cafe and got talking to Bomba, who quickly and instantly became our friend. He helped us to organise tours and other activities and made sure we got a great price (it always came in much cheaper than any other tours we tried to book).

Their food is amazing, the drinks are fresh and the service is better than any we have ever received from any cafe before. You will enter as guests and leave as friends!

Anyone travelling in the Luxor area needs to stop here. You will have the time...

When we ate in the restaurant the food took an hour to arrive. The chicken burger was obviously not fresh chicken but processed food. Restaurant owner swindled us with an overpriced boat trip to “Paradise Island” for the next day that ended up being a sandbank covered in donkey poop. The boat trip included a dinner. They prepared the vegetables by washing them in the Nile. Luckily I caught that and they rinsed with bottled water. Unfortunately, it didn’t help as all of us were sick the next day. I also found out the next day he charged us more than double for a trip to the Banana plantation which was further...
