Egypt's Oberoi Philae Nile Cruiser
Oberoi Philae Nile Cruiser
Regarded by most people as the best boat cruising the Nile, the Oberoi Philae Nile Cruiser is smaller than much of the competition at just 54 cabins. It also has the most character, being styled as an Edwardian paddle steamer complete with dark woods and brass fittings. The cabins are comfortable, if not especially large, they all have balconies and are appointed to the standard of a good, international, five-star hotel. The Philae is also one of the few boats with private moorings in Luxor and Aswan.
