Twelve cabins.
Three ways to stay.
Eight Deluxe Cabins, two Presidential Suites and two Royal Suites. Every one opens onto the river.
The Concept
Pharaonic, without the costume.
The cabins take their cue from the temples you will see from the deck — symmetry, measured proportion, light and shadow — without a single plaster column or painted replica.
Honed limestone and travertine, brushed brass, dark wood and woven textiles, touched with lapis blue and a little gold. Lotus and papyrus appear only as shapes in a lamp or a carving. The mood is the river at sunset: warm, quiet, unhurried.
The Cabins
Three kinds of cabin.
Every cabin has the river at the window. Choose by how much room you want to spread out in.

Premium
The Royal Suites.
The Royal Suites.
The stern of the boat.
Two of them, one at the stern of each deck, each taking the full width of the boat. A sitting room first, then the bedroom, with a bathtub set by the window.
Water on three sides and nobody walking past. Wake early, and the river is already moving the way it moved for the first travellers, four thousand years ago.

Inside Every Suite
What you find in every cabin.
Hand-woven linens
Sheets, pillowcases, and bath linens woven by hand on the eighty-year-old looms of Akhmim. Undyed cotton, washed in river water, sun-dried.
Brass lamps, cast in Cairo
Bedside lamps and reading sconces cast by hand in a small foundry in Khan el-Khalili — three brothers and one cousin, since 1972.
Carved shutters
Hand-carved in Esna, with a small brass latch you can open at three in the morning to see the moon on the water.
A river-facing window
Every cabin opens onto the Nile. None face inward. None face the corridor. The first thing you see in the morning is the water.
Marble basin & rain shower
Bathrooms in honed stone and travertine, with brass fixtures. A rain shower head, an apothecary line of bathing oils, hand-milled soap from Damascus.
Daily fresh flowers
From the riverbank villages we anchor at — wild jasmine, hibiscus, papyrus heads, water lilies. Cut at dawn, in your cabin by breakfast.
