Our Independent Opinion

Oberoi Philae

Oberoi Philae is probably the most luxurious vessel operating on the Nile. We love the old world charm of her wooden interiors, grand staircase and colonial ambiance. The suites remind us of a country-house hotel and have beautiful wrought ironwork on their balconies. Service and food are both excellent. We would recommend the Oberoi Philae for couples seeking an ultra-luxury trip to Egypt, who want to see all the key sights and immerse themselves in Egyptian culture with professional guides in superb surroundings.

Oberoi Zara

Oberoi Zara is a modern vessel with contemporary interiors and spacious suites. We love the en-suite showers, with their large picture windows; the Jacuzzi’s and the three massage suites. We would recommend Oberoi Zara for modern couples who like the style of new boutique hotels and who want to see all the key sights and immerse themselves in Egyptian culture with professional guides in superb surroundings.
