Between temples and tan lines , this cruise got everything right
I packed six books and read none . Too much to look at , too much to do ! From sunrise visits to ancient tombs to lazy lunches on deck , this trip was so full of life . Our kids loved the storytelling guides and the light shows at night . The food was safe for picky eaters ( thank God ) and the WiFi was surprisingly strong . I didn’t want to leave the boat . Ever .
Eldon Griggs –
Pyramids , papyrus , pyramids again – and that was just Day One
Day one already felt like a history overload – in the best way . From Cairo Museum to the pyramids , our minds were spinning ( and our cameras were overheating ) . But it was paced so well . We always had time to relax , enjoy the Four Seasons pool , or just journal what we saw . The switch to river life aboard the Zahra made everything even richer . We lived Egyptian history from every angle .
Lottie Tomlin –
If Cleopatra had a yacht , it would be the Oberoi Zahra
We joked that this cruise was fit for royalty , and honestly , it felt true . The Oberoi Zahra is sleek , spacious , and absolutely serene . Between visiting Abu Simbel and drifting past sleepy villages , we found moments of total peace . Even our laundry came back folded like origami . It’s the little things . The itinerary was rich , the staff were joyful , and I’ve never felt so taken care of .

A journey filled with mystery , marble , and Mediterranean vibes
From the scent of jasmine in Cairo to the sandstone temples in the south , this trip hit all the senses . I was genuinely blown away by the Oberoi Zahra ’ s design – polished wood , soft lighting , and the friendliest crew I’ve ever met . Aswan ’ s Philae Temple , especially at sunset , felt like a scene out of a fantasy novel . Oh , and the tea ceremonies on deck ? Chef ’ s kiss .
Delilah Givens –
Flying to Luxor then cruising to Aswan was the ultimate travel combo
The switch from city buzz to river calm couldn’t have been smoother . After soaking up the chaos ( and charm ) of Cairo , flying to Luxor felt like entering another world . Boarding the Zahra was like stepping into a dream . Every day offered something new – Kom Ombo ’ s twin temples , Nubian stories , even crocodile myths . The pace was perfect . I never felt rushed or bored .
Burl Chandler –
Luxurious doesn’t even begin to describe the Oberoi Zahra experience
Let me paint you a picture : private excursions , no crowds , impeccable service , and a room where the bed feels like it was made of clouds . That was my reality for eight days . The food was so good I started taking photos of every plate – and I’m not even that kind of person . We had sunrise temple visits , sunset felucca rides , and every moment felt cinematic .
Sadie Rutledge –
From hieroglyphs to hot tubs , this tour had it all
Imagine floating past banana plantations while sipping hibiscus tea . Then stopping to explore a temple built thousands of years ago . That was basically our daily routine on the Oberoi Zahra . One morning we visited the Valley of the Kings , and by evening , we were back on the ship soaking in a hot tub under the stars . Luxor and Aswan came alive thanks to our guide , who seemed to have a PhD in charm .
Harlan Pruitt –
You haven’t seen sunsets until you’ve seen them from a Nile cruise
There was this one evening near Edfu Temple – orange light spilling across the river , birds diving , the boat completely still . I swear , we all just stood there , silent , soaking it in . The Oberoi Zahra manages to balance adventure and serenity better than anything I’ve experienced . Every suite has panoramic windows , so even lazy afternoons feel like National Geographic documentaries . And don’t get me started on the galabeya night . Absolute blast .
Myrtle Gentry –
A floating spa , gourmet dining , and temples that stunned us silent
Let me just say this : I’ve never had a massage while gliding down the Nile before . The Oberoi Zahra ’ s spa is no joke . After a morning walking through Karnak Temple – where columns stretch like ancient skyscrapers – getting pampered on the boat felt surreal . The food ? Absolutely next level . Every dinner felt like date night , even though we’ve been married twenty years . This cruise made our anniversary unforgettable .
Willard Haskins –
Cairo ’ s Four Seasons hotel made me feel like Egyptian royalty
Our journey started in Cairo , where we stayed at the stunning Four Seasons hotel overlooking the Nile . From the marble floors to the whisper – quiet elevators , everything screamed elegance . But it wasn’t just about luxury – it was about immersion . Standing in front of the pyramids , with the desert wind brushing my face , I felt like I had time – traveled . The guides were knowledgeable , funny , and warm . I still remember the story of Hatshepsut being told like a juicy royal drama . Then we boarded the Oberoi Zahra , and the real floating magic began .

A Cruise So Chic It Deserves Its Own Runway Imagine a spa , a fine-dining restaurant , a history class , and a five-star hotel had a baby — that’s the Oberoi Zahra. The Nile cruise was the crown jewel of this journey. We flew into Cairo , where the pyramids loomed like sleeping giants , and stayed in such luxury it was hard to leave the hotel. Then came the cruise — an experience so smooth and indulgent I didn’t want it to end. The temple visits were mind-blowing , especially seeing Karnak up close. But what made it magical were the quiet moments , like sipping tea on deck while the world’s oldest river whispered stories in the wind.
Eugene Dale McCray –
The Trip That Turned Me Into an Egypt Superfan I came for the pyramids , but I stayed for everything else. This trip was cultural gold. From the chaotic charm of Cairo’s streets to the graceful flow of the Oberoi Zahra , I felt like I’d unlocked a level in life. I couldn’t stop snapping pictures — every moment looked like it was from a movie set. One day , we visited Edfu and later had dinner on deck under the stars , and it felt unreal. Also , the staff treated us like family — warm , gracious , and always smiling. Egypt is now my new favorite obsession.
Loretta Mae Hickson –
When the Nile Becomes Your Private Catwalk The luxury was non-stop , but not in an over-the-top way — it was elegant , soothing , and incredibly tasteful. From Cairo’s fast pace and dazzling sights to the serene luxury of the Zahra , it all felt like a beautiful contrast. Highlights ? The Karnak temple’s columns , the sound and light show at Philae , and every dinner onboard. The staff were warm and professional , remembering small things like how I take my coffee or the book I left by the pool. It’s not every day you cruise past 5,000 years of history in a floating hotel that smells like lavender.
Billy Ray Weatherford –
Luxor to Aswan in Style , Then Some! This wasn’t just a vacation , it was a living museum tour with white-glove service. The Oberoi Zahra floated us down the Nile in a kind of peace you can’t describe unless you’re there. I learned more about Egyptian history in 8 days than I ever did in school. Cairo was packed with wonders , but the cruise allowed us to slow down and soak it all in. The chefs deserve a gold medal , and the rooms? I slept better than I do at home. Also , seeing the temples at sunrise? Felt like the gods opened early just for us.
Mabel Sue Langford –
Sunrise Over the Nile and Other Magical Memories There was one morning where I woke up early , sat by our cabin window , and watched the Nile glow orange under the rising sun. That alone made the whole trip worth it. The Oberoi Zahra turned each day into a private viewing of history and splendor. I adored the stops at temples — but the journey itself was the jewel. It was smooth , luxurious , and always full of little details — chilled hibiscus tea after every hot walk , fresh flowers in the room , and a staff that remembered your favorite dessert. Cairo was an unforgettable blast too. Riding a camel past the Pyramids? Bucket list , check.
Travis McElroy –
Ancient History , Fancy Slippers , and the World’s Coolest River Okay , I admit I signed up for the Pyramids and ended up falling in love with river cruising. The Oberoi Zahra was like if James Bond designed a yacht in a museum. The service ? Like they read your mind. The food ? Let’s just say I’ve started Googling Egyptian recipes daily. And cruising into places like Luxor and Edfu ? You feel like royalty with sneakers on. Loved that Cairo had the busy , brilliant energy while the cruise was calm , plush , and smooth as silk. The entertainment onboard was surprisingly fun too — we even got to dress up in galabeyas one night. Ten outta ten for vibes.
Darlene Crowe –
My Cairo and Nile Fantasy Come to Life in Eleven Days Eleven days , yet it flew by like a breeze off the Nile. This journey was the ultimate cultural immersion wrapped in total elegance. The Oberoi Zahra is floating perfection. Our suite was sleek and peaceful , like a cloud that drifted past legends. Every day we dove into history — Luxor Temple lit up at night , the precise artistry of Hatshepsut’s temple , and that quiet moment at Abu Simbel , feeling the silence say more than any guidebook ever could. Don’t skip the spa either , it’s like being massaged by serenity itself. We went home recharged , reconnected , and wowed by the majesty of Egypt.
Bo Hankins –
Where Five-Star Relaxation Meets Ancient Egyptian Adventure I’ve done cruises before , but nothing touches the Oberoi Zahra. Waking up to temples floating by your window , then stepping off the boat to walk the same paths as pharaohs — that’s a thrill I’ll be chasing for a while. The rooms were soundproof havens , perfect after a day under the Egyptian sun. Cairo itself was a full-on adventure. The pyramids were as majestic as I imagined , and the buzz of Khan el-Khalili was electric. Then it was eight days of luxury gliding down the Nile. Tip ? Try the Egyptian breakfast — ful medames and tameya — while watching hot-air balloons dot the sky in Luxor. Pure magic.

Golden Moments from Giza to Aswan on the Nile From the very first breakfast at the Four Seasons in Cairo to the final sunset in Aswan , this trip sparkled with golden moments. We explored tombs that whispered stories , temples that glowed at dusk , and strolled markets that buzzed with life. Oberoi Zahra redefined comfort — the spa onboard was a magical pause between ancient sites. Every day brought a new surprise : Kom Ombo , Edfu , Karnak , and Valley of the Kings. And every evening felt like a reward — live music , gourmet food , and the most graceful service I’ve seen. Can’t forget that night at Philae Temple , with lights dancing across columns like ghosts in a gala.
Zeke Holloway –
Floating in Five-Star Splendor Between Ancient Temples and Timeless Tales We weren’t just cruising the Nile — we were gliding through time. The Oberoi Zahra was a palace on water. Every cabin felt like a sanctuary, with panoramic windows that turned the river into our personal cinema. Cairo started it off strong — the Four Seasons was beyond words. Pyramids? Surreal. The Museum? A labyrinth of wonder. But once we flew south and boarded Zahra, it became a different kind of luxury. Smooth sailing , flawless service , and excursions that brought history to life. One night , under the stars , the staff arranged a little surprise by the pool — soft oud music , mint tea , and the sound of the Nile lapping the sides. Can you say dreamland ?
