The Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau features six beautifully designed cabins.

Each of the cabins is decorated in its own original style with influences drawing from Egypt’s history, culture and geography.

All cabins feature a Nile view, are fully air-conditioned with individual controls, and have LCD televisions with satellite connection and private bathrooms with shower and hairdryer. International telephone access is available through reception.

THE FAROUK SUITE (93M²)

Located on the Upper Deck, this fabulous suite is a calm oasis set in a breezy white color scheme to reflect the tranquil natural surroundings of Upper Egypt. Influences from Egypt's Royal era can be seen in the furniture, décor, and photographs adorning the walls. A poignant piece is an original hand-woven rug, a replica of a family letter sent by Egypt's King Farouk to his mother, the Queen, which sits next to the luxuriously appointed bed. The suite also features a private dining area and panoramic windows, which offer a superb view of the natural surroundings while wood flooring sets a calm tone for luxury Nile cruises.

THE NAPOLEON SUITE (43M²)

The Napoleon Suite reflects Egypt's influential Napoleonic era. A drawing of the route his forces took through Egypt adorns the walls, with splashes of color in the accompanying furniture. The four-poster bed and classical furniture enhance the regal nature of the suite

THE PHILAE CABIN (20M²)

Tranquility and romance surround you in this calm and exotic cocoon. Decorated richly with style and grace, adorning the walls is a beautiful map of the Nile. This cabin features a king bed.

THE NUBIA CABIN (20M²)

The essence of Nubian culture, this cabin is steeped in beautiful tradition reflected in its colors and ambiance. The room features twin beds.

THE BALADI CABIN (20M²)

Highlighting Egypt's culture and artistic world, the Baladi cabin, with a king bed, chronicles famous artists and singers. Be transported back into Egypt's artistic heyday.

Getting There & Away

The seven-night cruise departs from Luxor and sails to Aswan, before returning to Luxor again.

We recommend flying from Cairo to Luxor directly. The flying time from Cairo to Luxor is 1 hour. Driving to and from Luxor is not usually recommended as it would require a police escort and the driving time is both long and tiring - approximately 12 hours from Cairo to Luxor.
