The Oberoi Philae - Nile Cruiser, offers guests a cruise on the Nile along the landmarks of an ancient civilization. The journey begins in Luxor or Aswan and courses through Pharaonic dynasties that span thousands of years. Elegant interiors with teak paneling, parquet floors, European antiques and Oriental carpets create an ambience of luxury. Impeccable service and a beautiful setting come together to make this a voyage of discovery.

Built on the lines of an Edwardian Paddlesteamer, The Oberoi Philae offers extraordinary levels of comfort and turn of the (last) century elegance. All cabins and suites have a private balcony.
The Oberoi Philae has been awarded the title "Best Cruiser on the Nile" for the fifth consecutive year. It has also received a Green Globe award from the Egyptian Ministry of the Environment for the last three years. There simply is no finer way to travel down this historic waterway than aboard on The Oberoi Philae.
