The Oberoi Zahra is truly the most beautiful gem on the Nile!
The best Nile luxury cruise!
Everyone comes to Egypt has to do Nile River cruise, I chose Oberoi Zahra after reading the online review. It was the right decision. The cabin was nice and clean. The food was delicious onboard. excursions were all included.
We took the cruise from Aswan to Luxor. The ship is simply amazing and the well-mannered staff and the good services will blow your mind.
The Oberoi Zahra is definitely the best cruiser on the Nile. You would do very well to choose this beautiful cruising ship that is so well-appointed and incredibly well-maintained.
