There are many cafes near Aswan train station, all of them tend to have similar collection of drinks and food, they have very traditional seating arrangement where you can see the main Street. They are a little over priced compared to other local cafes, but are still very cheap. Great place to spend an hour or so just watching the surroundings. But this specific cafe has one drink that it makes better than anywhere else it called Doum with milk. Give it a try
