In more detail

Step aboard the Oberoi Zahra, your five-star sanctuary cruising the timeless waters of the Nile. As you uncover Egypt’s treasures, you’ll be welcomed with indulgent luxury at every turn—from fine dining and soothing spa treatments to elegant cabins and suites.

The main restaurant offers sweeping Nile views through expansive windows and a daily à la carte menu inspired by global flavours. By day, sunlight fills the space with warmth and openness; by night, it transforms into an intimate retreat. For al fresco dining, head to the poolside restaurant for light bites or cocktails from its adjoining bar. Sheltered beneath a broad canopy by day and shimmering under starlit skies by night, the poolside is pure magic.

The Library Lounge invites relaxed conversation over drinks, while the Club Lounge hosts board games, cocktail receptions, and a captivating Nubian performance during each voyage.

The Oberoi Spa presents a curated selection of holistic therapies, complemented by tranquil Nile vistas. The 11-metre pool offers the perfect escape—whether you’re swimming in its temperature-controlled waters or reclining on a sun lounger with a refreshing drink. A fitness centre ensures you can stay active while admiring the ever-changing scenery.

Accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully designed. The Luxury Cabin’s soft tones soothe, with Nile views from both the seating area and rain shower. Luxury Suites feature a king bedroom, living room, private dining space, and en-suite with standalone bath and rain shower—plus a heated whirlpool on the terrace. For families or groups, the Two-Bedroom Luxury Suite provides generous space and privacy.
