Inflight catering menu for Abu Simbel

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Abu Simbel departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

To start
Nubian Ful Medames Board

Inflight catering for Abu Simbel flights

The town of Abu Simbel exists almost entirely in the shadow of its temples — the relocated monuments of Ramesses II that draw Egyptologists, heads of state and discerning travellers to this remote corner of Upper Egypt. That singularity of purpose shapes the character of every visit: guests arrive with intention, and the catering aboard their aircraft should match that same deliberateness. Aswan, some 215 kilometres to the north along the Nile corridor, is the nearest city of meaningful scale and the primary source from which we draw regional produce and specialist suppliers. Dates, pomegranates, sugarcane-based syrups, dried hibiscus and Nubian spice blends all travel this route to reach your galley. The distance demands careful logistics, and our team plans each order accordingly — nothing is left to improvise on the ramp.

Regional Catering Menu · Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel private jet catering

Nubian cooking is quieter and more aromatic than the louder flavours of Cairo or Alexandria. Fenugreek, dried lime, tamarind and slow-cooked legumes define a regional palate that rewards restraint. Our kitchen translates these references into inflight catering that travels without compromise: chilled mezze boards built around ful medames and roasted aubergine, warm grain salads dressed with date molasses, and slow-braised lamb shoulder portioned and sealed for precise cabin regeneration. For morning departures — a common pattern at Abu Simbel, where charter groups often arrive at dawn for sunrise temple access and depart by mid-morning — we compose crew meals and passenger breakfasts around freshly baked flatbreads, labneh, honey sourced from Upper Egypt and seasonal fruit. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, ensuring full certification integrity at this remote location.
