Oberoi Zahra Nile Cruise – Five-Star Luxury on the Nile
The Oberoi Zahra is a five-star luxury Nile cruiser sailing between Luxor and Aswan. Built as a genuinely intimate, boutique-style vessel rather than a mass-capacity riverboat, it carries a limited number of suites and cabins, giving guests a quieter, more personal alternative to Egypt’s larger mainstream Nile cruise fleet.
Suites & Cabins
The Oberoi Zahra offers three categories of accommodation – Luxury Cabins, Luxury Suites, and Luxury Two-Bedroom Suites – each finished with large picture windows that frame the riverbank as it slides by. Every room includes:
- Floor-to-ceiling windows with uninterrupted Nile views
- Individually controlled air-conditioning
- Marble bathrooms with premium amenities
- In-room dining available around the clock
Dining & Wellness
Guests dine at The Restaurant, serving an international menu alongside Egyptian specialities, with additional options at the Club Lounge, Library Lounge, and poolside. For relaxation, The Oberoi Spa offers holistic treatments drawing on both Eastern and Western massage techniques, and the ship carries an 11-metre temperature-controlled swimming pool on its upper deck – one of the larger pools found on any Nile cruiser.
