Highlights

Experience the panorama of life along the world’s longest river

  • Built in 1996, Oberoi Philae was extensively reconfigured in 2015 with just 22 cabins and luxurious amenities, including an Oberoi spa.

  • Windows are nearly floor to ceiling and slide open, offering a connection with the river. The topmost deck has a swimming pool that is the largest of any Nile ship and an al fresco restaurant. Downstairs, there’s a stylish enclosed restaurant serving local specialties as well as more continental options.

  • The heart of the ship is the Lounge, where everyone gathers each night for Recap. It’s here that Egyptologists share stories of the sites, who built them and why, and fascinating modern details like how they’ve changed over the years.

Explore the Ship

Relax on a deck chair next to the 36-foot pool or take a meal in the al fresco dining room to watch life along the riverbank from the top deck. Spend a few hours in the library reading about Egyptian history or join your photo instructor for a session in the lounge.
