The cabins aboard the Oberoi Philae offer an intimate and elegant retreat, with only 22 available to ensure personalized service. Each cabin is designed with comfort in mind, featuring large sliding windows that frame stunning river views, modern ensuite bathrooms stocked with luxurious amenities, and climate control for an ideal atmosphere. Stylish furnishings and soft tones create a calm and inviting space—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Egypt’s remarkable heritage.

Features onboard
Built in 1996 and extensively refurbished in 2015, the ship features an Oberoi Spa and a range of premium amenities designed for relaxation and discovery. Guests can enjoy the panoramic beauty of the Nile from nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that slide open, or unwind on the top deck, which features a 36-foot swimming pool—the largest on the river—and an alfresco restaurant. A refined indoor restaurant serves both local specialties and international favorites, while the heart of the ship—the lounge—hosts evening Recap sessions led by Egyptologists who share captivating stories of ancient sites and civilizations.
