The Oberoi Philae

River Nile, Egypt

A luxurious cruise along the Nile that sails past the landmarks of an ancient civilisation. The Oberoi Philae sails from Aswan to Luxor or vice versa.

Having received accolade after accolade since its launch as the premier cruising vessel on the upper Nile, the Oberoi Philae is the most luxurious of the floating hotels. Styled as a 19th Century paddle steamer, and finished in dark woods with elegant period fittings, the Philae has 58 cabins each with its own balcony that gives a private panoramic view of the Egyptian Nile landscape. In addition there is a lounge, a sophisticated bar, a first class restaurant and a pool on the sun deck. Another important distinction is the Philae’s use of private docks in Luxor and Aswan, which enable her to moor next to the shore, a definite plus on the busy waters on the Nile. Without doubt, the Philae is the most stylish way to see the sights of the Upper Nile.
