The Oberoi Philae and Oberoi Zahra are two of the most celebrated luxury vessels sailing the Nile. Part of the legendary Oberoi Hotels and Resorts group, these ships redefine what a river cruise can be — intimate, deeply elegant, and attentive to every guest. If privacy, design and world-class cuisine are your priorities, an Oberoi Nile cruise is among the finest experiences Egypt offers.
The Oberoi experience is fully inclusive of beverages — a rare distinction among Nile cruise operators. Confirm exact inclusions at enquiry.

Both Oberoi vessels sail a refined version of the Luxor to Aswan itinerary, typically over 7 nights to allow unhurried time at each site. The pace is deliberately slower than standard cruises — guests spend more time at each temple and enjoy private guided access that standard ships cannot offer. Optional extensions to Abu Simbel and Dendera are available.

Four markers that the Oberoi Nile experience is the right fit.
