Oberoi Philae

A voyage along the Nile is the centerpiece of your journey through Egypt. There are few, if any, ships that can match the elegance, ideal size, and graciousness of the Oberoi Philae. Originally built for 100 guests, she was remodeled and reconfigured to accommodate 44 in her peerless style.

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.
