Queen Farida is designed as a calm home on the river, pairing traditional woodwork and intimate spaces with modern comfort and attentive service.
Her shallow draft allows landings at Nile islands and riverbanks, bringing guests closer to rural scenery beyond the busier ports.
Relax in the air-conditioned salon, shaded lounge area or on the sun deck with deck chairs and parasols.
The covered upper deck becomes an open-air restaurant for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and a four-course evening menu.
Cabins include individual air conditioning and soundproofing, while onboard systems include smoke detection, sprinklers and ultraviolet water purification.
Explore the sails, warm-wood cabins, open-air restaurant, salon and tranquil upper-deck spaces.
Choose a five-night voyage to Aswan or a seven-night round trip returning to Esna.
Sailing times and visit order may change because of weather, water levels or official requirements. The operator states that it aims to complete all listed visits.
