Nubian Sky Egyptian Restaurant & Cafe is a casual, budget-priced restaurant on Al Shohda Street near Hurghada Marina, in the Sakkala district of Egypt's Red Sea coast. The venue concentrates on home-style Egyptian cooking rather than resort-style international food, which makes it a useful stop for visitors who want to try everyday dishes at local prices. The dishes most often associated with the kitchen are molokhia, the green leaf stew served over rice with chicken or rabbit and a garlic and coriander sauce, grilled kofta, and a spread of Egyptian mezze such as baba ghanoush, tahini, salads and fresh bread. Main courses are listed at about EGP 150 to EGP 350 (roughly $3 to $7), so a full meal with sides remains inexpensive even by Egyptian standards. The dining room is informal and unpretentious, with no dress code, and the atmosphere is that of a neighbourhood eatery combined with a cafe where tea, coffee and shisha-style cafe culture are part of the offer; visitors should check what the cafe side serves on the day. Opening hours are not published in the sources checked, so lunch to late evening is a reasonable expectation, to be confirmed on Google Maps. Reservations are not normally needed, and walk-ins are seated without difficulty, although groups of six or more are advised to call or message through the venue's Google Maps listing. The average rating is 4.2. Its location on Al Shohda Street places it within a few minutes of the marina and the Sakkala promenade, so it fits easily into an afternoon of walking or an evening out. For visitors unfamiliar with Egyptian food, molokhia and mezze are a sensible introduction, and sharing several dishes across the table is the usual way to eat. Alcohol is not typical of venues of this style and should not be assumed.
