About the ship
MS Farah
A 72-meter luxury ship with free sauna, steam room and gym, a circular pool and two Royal Suites with a Jacuzzi. Leaves Luxor on Mondays and Aswan on Fridays.
MS Farah is a luxury ship about 72 meters long, built to Germanischer Lloyd safety standards. Deluxe cabins measure about 22 square meters and have a bathtub, an espresso machine and free Wi-Fi. Two Royal Suites of about 44 square meters add a Jacuzzi. The sundeck has a circular pool, cabanas and a telescope for birdwatching. Inside, the gym, sauna and steam room are free to use. A mezzanine holds a hair salon, a gift shop and boutiques, and a library offers a quiet corner. Breakfast and lunch are buffets, dinner is à la carte, and vegetarian dishes are listed. A discotheque runs late, so light sleepers should choose cabins carefully.
Four-night cruises leave Luxor on Mondays, and three-night cruises leave Aswan on Fridays. The highlights match in both directions, from Karnak in Luxor to the Kom Ombo temple on the river. Abu Simbel is an optional early trip from Aswan. Ask for a cabin away from the lounge if you plan early temple starts.
