Cruise the Nile: Top Egypt River Trips and Highlights

History and legend are woven into the atmosphere at the Steigenberger Nile Palace in Egypt. This elegant riverside hotel sits like an oasis on the banks of the Nile and is within easy reach of the Temple of Luxor, Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. The property offers 285 well-appointed guestrooms and 19 suites, including the refined Diplomatic Suite and the spacious Presidential Suite—both offering views across the Nile.

Dining options are varied and high-quality. Guests can choose from six restaurants and bars, among them The Nubian, serving international dishes; Bua Khao, which features Asian-fusion cuisine; and Casa Di Napoli, offering Italian specialties. El Tarboush showcases Lebanese grill dishes and traditional desserts prepared by a dedicated team of chefs, with live performances of Lebanese folk music in the evenings.

After exploring the nearby archaeological sites, guests can relax at the hotel’s spa and fitness center. Facilities include a heated pool that runs alongside the Nile, treatment rooms for massages, and a sauna and steam bath for unwinding. For outdoor activities, an 18-hole championship golf course is a short drive away, and the hotel plans to open a rooftop tennis court for additional recreation.

The hotel’s riverside location, comfortable accommodations and range of leisure and dining options make it a convenient and relaxing base for travelers seeking to experience Luxor’s historical treasures while enjoying modern comforts.
