If you are hungry visit Makka. You get a lot of food for no money! Very close to Aswan train station.

We found this little gem thanks to advice from a guide. The basic Egyptian fare was tasty and the restaurant was filled with locals (they knew a good deal!). The restaurant was clean and the service was fast. Definitely good value.
