Al Hambra Nile Cruise

A five-star Nile ship launched in April 2010, with 31-square-meter suites, a two-level spa and a lift. It suits travelers who want space, spa time and step-free cabin options.

The Al Hambra entered service in April 2010 and runs as an all-suite ship. Standard suites measure about 31 square meters, with bathrooms of around 6 square meters. Two of them, on the Al Sultan deck, are built for wheelchair users, and a panoramic lift links the decks. The spa spans two levels, with an indoor relaxation pool, sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi and massage rooms. A full gym completes the wellness side. It suits couples and older travelers who value room to spread out. Published sources do not give a total cabin count, length or deck count, and one listing describes a similarly named ship differently.

The four-night cruise leaves Luxor on Thursdays and sails south to Aswan. The three-night cruise leaves Aswan on Mondays and heads north to Luxor. Both directions call at Edfu and Kom Ombo, with Karnak on the Luxor end and Philae Temple on the Aswan end. Meals are full board, while drinks and extra meals cost more. If you need an accessible suite, ask for one of the two Al Sultan deck suites when you first inquire, since only two exist.
