Uniquely, it even features four massage suites* with Nile views, and a hair salon* for a spot of pampering at the end of a days sightseeing.
(*Denotes payable)
The Oberoi Zahra, part of the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, offers one of the most spacious accommodations of the Nile cruisers. It sails on a 7 day itinerary from Luxor to Aswan (and vice versa). This is a great choice for honeymoon couples who enjoy experiencing history and culture on the luxury of a cruise.
The Luxury Suites make wonderful accommodations for honeymoon couples. They are spread over 50 sqm and have a separate living room, private terrace and open air Jacuzzi. There are two televisions, a CD and DVD player and free internet access.
Onboard The Oberoi Zahra, you can enjoy international á la carte meals prepared by the Chef and his team with daily changing menus. You can also enjoy the swimming pool, gym, theatre, library, games room and cigar lounge. The Oberoi Zahra is the only boat on the Nile with a full-service Spa; it has four therapy rooms each with a shower and steam room.
There are English speaking Egyptologists for the tours and also French and German speaking ones available with prior notice. Every evening, an AV presentation is given on the next day’s programme. A telescope is on board for those who enjoy gazing into the sky. Leaving and returning onto the boat is easy because of the private docking arrangements- a special feature of The Oberoi Zahra! Small luxury coaches transport you to your destination. Some example of excursions are; the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Edfu, the best preserved temple of the Ancient World. Some of the evening entertainment includes; a cocktail reception with live music and a sound and light show at the Philae Temple.

Hi Rossella,
I would just like to say a huge thank you for organising our holiday. It was exactly what I had planned for John’s birthday and we both loved Egypt.
Marhaba tours who arranged our transfers and trips were fabulous, efficient and gave us memorable trips to Alexandria and around Cairo. It was so reassuring to be met at the airport and helped with our visas and luggage collection as it was the first time either of us had been out of Europe.
The Mena House Oberoi was absolutely fabulous; the staffs were so friendly and efficient. When we were upgraded to the Carter suite I thought I had died and gone to heaven. The new pool is lovely and we really enjoyed the different restaurants and the cocktails at the bar. It was a truly 5 star experience and although I was excited to go on the cruise I loved it so much I was a little sad to leave as well...since we got back we have agreed this was our favourite part of our holiday
The Oberoi Zahra was everything that I had hoped it would be and more, we would like to say thank you for arranging that we went onto that cruise once the Philae had been decommissioned. With that in mind some people on board were not so lucky with their travel agents and I have recommended Western & Oriental to them. If you email me back I will forward your details to them.
If they make a booking please feel free to offer us money off our next holiday ;) as we will definitely book with you again....we felt that we could go on holiday and relax and enjoy ourselves completely as we felt very confident in everything that had been arranged.
We were slightly disappointed with the Movenpick Resort as after staying at the Oberoi hotel and cruise as it did not feel 5 star, but that is something that we have put down to experience and it did not diminish our holiday at all. In fact it has made it clear that the Oberoi group are something special and we will definitely try to stay at one of their hotels again...
So thank you Rossella and Western & Oriental
Best wishes
Kay and John

Natalie FowlerThere are many highlights to Sharm el Sheikh, the Red Sea for one, is incredibly marine rich and a perfect spot for both snorkelers and professional divers to explore. While snorkelling just a few metres from the shore, I spotted some clown fish, stripey angel fish and virtually the whole cast of Finding Nemo!

There are some amazing experiences to try whilst you are in Egypt, I went diving in to the Blue Hole, which is like an inverted volcano and holds many beautiful and unmissable sites - this is a must do!

For some light entertainment and shopping, head down to the bustling hub of Na'ama Bay, for a great variety of restaurants, souvenir shops and bars offering cocktails and traditional Egyptian shisha. Sharm also has one of the most impressive kids clubs, my fave by far, was the Hyatt Regency’s. The facilities included a canopied paddling pool, indoor play area, outside climbing frame and a play-station room.
While the kids enjoy themselves, the adults can have their own fun at the fabulous Souk area by joining the belly dancers and musicians on stage while dining from a wide selection of freshly made international cuisine.

Dhiren ShahI thought the Hyatt Regency in Egypt was lovely, it had beautiful grounds, numerous pools and even a waterslide! The luxurious resort also has an area called the 'Club Area' which is more separate to the rest of the hotel, with its own pool and restaurant, making it ideal for a romantic getaway.
