WHAT BETTERWAY OF EXPERIENCING FIVE THOUSAND YEARS OF EGYPTIAN CULTURE THAN BY TAKING A LEISURELY CRUISE ALONG THE RIVER NILE? AND IF YOU DO IT IN LUXURY ABOARD THE EDWARDIAN-STYLE OBEROI PHILAE OR THE CUTTING-EDGE OBEROI ZAHRA YOU’LL EXPERIENCE THE VERY BEST
OF EGYPT’S PAST AND PRESENT…
THE OBEROI PHILAE NILE CRUISER
All the elegance of the Edwardian era awaits you on The Oberoi Philae. The public areas will bring the past
alive with their European antiques and Oriental carpets, whilst the 54 cabins and 4 suites will put you
in mind of English country houses complete with home comforts such as bathrooms, mini-bars and
TVs. And you’ll always be able to witness the passing scenery as each cabin boasts its own private balcony
overlooking the river. Leisure facilities include an outdoor plunge pool and indoor fitness centre; the lounge bar the spot for anything from cosy cocktails to live music. The fine china, crystal glassware and white linens of the dining room say it all! THE OBEROI ZAHRA LUXURY NILE CRUISER You’ll be brought right up to date aboard The Oberoi Zahra, a brand new ship that is the very height of modernity. Just 25 luxury cabins await here, their timber flooring and minimalist décor set off by panoramic views of the Nile through their large picture windows. Opt for one of the two luxury suites if you also fancy your own private terrace with open-air Jacuzzi, not to mention high-tech comforts such as wall-mounted LCD TVs and CD/DVD players. On board there’s a swimming pool and gymnasium, as well as four massage suites for rejuvenating treatments. Gourmet international cuisine is on offer in the sleek and very stylish restaurant.
