Egypt aboard Oberoi Philae
Special Offers
Explore Egypt with special access. Venture into tombs that are normally closed to the public on Luxor's west bank, where we’ve obtained permits for some of the most remarkable sites, including Tutankhamon’s tomb. See King Tut’s mummy, recently returned from the museum to his final resting place. Enter the tomb of Seti I, one of the finest and most colorful tombs in all of Egypt. And the tomb of Nefertari, open to a limited number of visitors each day, has colors so vivid they could have been painted yesterday. And discover modern Egypt through talented and friendly local Egyptologists and welcoming people you’ll meet along the river.

Oberoi Philae, carrying just 42 guests, is exceptional. Each airy cabin is large, with panoramic views. And when the ship is underway, it’s a wonderful time to enjoy the pace of life along the river, relax with a treatment in the spa, or visit the Bridge to see the calm ritual of navigation unfold.
Explore Egypt’s legendary sites of antiquity in peerless style aboard one of the most elegant ships on the Nile today, the Oberoi Philae.
The Great Pyramids of Giza. The Sphinx. Karnak Temple. While these iconic sites are must-see stops on any Egyptian voyage, there are other extraordinary, lesser-known treasures not to be missed.
The massive Karnak temple complex is an epicenter for understanding not only ancient religious practices, but architectural, artistic, and linguistic endeavors that evolved over time. These are just a few of the stand-out sites to spot when you're there.
The beauty and antiquity of Egypt are legendary. To enhance your journey, we have chosen the most luxurious ship on the Nile as well as the finest accommodations, in iconic locations, with unsurpassed views and easy access to the sites of antiquity we will explore.
I walked into the temple and my hair stood up on my arms. It’s that kind of emotional impact.
