OBEROI PHILAE

Tear yourself from your suite to discover all the boat has to offer. Despite having just one restaurant onboard, the Philae offers an appealing range of western, Indian, Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine to suit all palates. In the evenings, the cigar bar is in equal parts the place to wind down or get the party going, with a relaxed seating area perfect for indulging in a Cuban cigar, an onboard movie theatre and its very own dancefloor. Outside, bask in the glorious Egyptian sun on the expansive deck, breaking only for a rejuvenating dip in the swimming pool or a poolside snack with stunning panoramic views. For serenity seekers, a Thai, Balinese, Ayurvedic or signature Oberoi massage beckons from the spa as you contemplate the passing vistas.

The Philae offers all you could possibly need during your stay, but exciting itineraries ensure you’ll certainly be enticed to explore beyond the boat. Discover historic Luxor with its marvellous Karnak Temples and the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. Further down river, the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo offer more spectacular sightseeing, while the opportunity to really strengthen your knowledge at Aswan’s Nubian Museum is the perfect accompaniment to your history-rich voyage.
