OVERVIEW
27 Cabins, One River, and A Week That Moves at Your Pace
The Oberoi Zahra is one of the most loved luxury ships on the Nile. It carries only 25 cabins and 2 suites, so the ship never feels crowded. Every cabin has a wide window over the river, and a rain shower.
ou sail for seven nights between Luxor and Aswan. A private Egyptologist guides you through Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae. The Zahra leaves later than most ships, so you often see the temples with fewer people.
Between visits, you can swim in the heated pool, book a treatment at The Oberoi Spa, or read in the library lounge. Evenings bring fine dining, cocktails on deck, and Nubian music under the stars.
