The Old Cataract Hotel on the granite bank of the Nile in Aswan

Luxury travel in Egypt

The best rooms on the Nile, and the right guide to go with them

Mena House facing the Great Pyramid, the Oberoi Philae or a Sanctuary ship on the river, the Old Cataract in Aswan. We book the rooms that matter early and pair them with senior Egyptologists and private access where it is allowed.

How we plan it

  • Rooms chosen by name

    We ask for the pyramid-view wing, the river-facing suite and the cabin away from the engine.

  • Senior Egyptologists

    Guides with postgraduate degrees or years of fieldwork, matched to your interests.

  • Private access where allowed

    Special-access permits for the Sphinx enclosure and after-hours museum visits, applied for in advance.
