ms Omar El Khayam
Lake Nasser Cruise, Egypt

 You’ll cruise the waters of Lake Nasser aboard a brand-new deluxe 5-star ship. As you’ll discover, the ms Omar El Khayam has been designed from the keel up to provide one of the finest cruising experiences available in Egypt. You’ll enjoy a comfortable, spacious cabin with window, excellent shipboard amenities, fine dining, and a casually elegant cruising experience. Lake Nasser, also known as the Nubian Sea, was created when the Aswan High Dam was completed across the Nile in 1961. Cruising this vast body of water provides a rare opportunity to experience dramatic high desert scenery, remote towns, and ruins left by the ancient Nubian civilization — sights seen by few other travellers, and certainly not at the level of comfort that you can expect aboard the ms Omar El Khayam. Cabins are assigned by the cruise line. No internet connection during sailing hours
