The Nile

22 Rooms

|

From $550 per person/night

A pretty-as-a-picture riverboat and your key to the marvels of the Nile.

The Oberoi sails on four or six-night voyages, with a multitude of stops along the way, during which the on-board Egyptologist will share the tales of this ancient civilisation with you. Whilst on board, you'll be treated to an ever-changing view of the Nile and the wonders beyond its banks, available from any sun lounger or arm chair. Get to know the longest river in the world in true style...

Oberoi Zahra

The Nile

25 Rooms

|

From $550 per person/night

Sail along the placid, topaz waters of the Nile and take a deep dive into its history.

The Nile. The longest river in the world, a watery tapestry along which much of Egypt's history has played out, and the site of more than a few adventure stories - and on the Oberoi Zahra, you'll have the chance to explore the winding highways on one of its finest riverboats. Whilst on board, cool off with a dip in the pool, head to the spa for an Arabian coffee scrub, and take in the exquisite scenery without moving a muscle. When you dock, the resident Egyptologist will be by your side to show you from one serene temple to the next, sharing their fascinating beginnings as you go.

The Nile

32 Rooms

|

From $470 per person/night

A graceful riverboat sailing the Nile with stops at its highest highlights along the way.

What better way to see the long-told-of sights and scenery along the Nile than by riverboat? No, we can't think of one! Across its three storeys, the Sanctuary provides well-appointed sun decks to do your ogling whilst catching some rays, or enjoying an afternoon tea on the way to your next historic stop. Once you leave the comfort of the air-conditioned cabins, you'll be led from ancient temples to larger-than-life statues by the in-house Egyptologist. Choose between the four-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan (or vice versa) or the eight-night round trip. Blending modern Egypt with millenia of tradition, the decor is plush and stylish.

Of course, your luxury river cruiser will look quite different to their handmade felucca (but don't worry, you'll also have the chance to sail one round Elephantine Island). Sun Boat IV, an A&K Sanctuary has three storeys and it's here you'll enjoy the creations of award-winning chefs, listen to spirited folkloric songs, and take in the sights from the comfort of your sun lounger. Travelling from Aswan to Luxor (or vice versa), there will be plenty of opportunity to go exploring with your own expert Egyptologist.
