    The Experience

    The Oberoi Philae brings the Oberoi standard of service to the Nile. Spacious cabins and suites, a calm atmosphere and refined cuisine make it one of the most elegant ways to travel between Luxor and Aswan. Wellness is at the heart of the ship, with therapy rooms that have their own showers and steam rooms, a gymnasium and a sun deck with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. A library and cigar lounge, personal care attendants and an Egyptologist for every shore visit complete the experience. Choose a 4 night sailing or a slower 6 night journey that adds Dendera and Abydos, two of the most beautiful temples in Upper Egypt.

    What Our Guests Say

    Voices From the Journey

    Real stories from travelers who trusted us with their journey through Egypt.

    "I'll be honest I almost canceled this trip after reading so many conflicting opinions online. From my very first email, Hamdy patiently answered every question without ever making me feel pressured to book. When we landed in Cairo, Magdy was already waiting outside arrivals, and within an hour I realized I'd spent weeks worrying for nothing. Looking back, what I'll remember most isn't just the pyramids, but how easy the entire journey felt."
