It’s the ideal spot for relaxing on a wooden deck chair while watching the scenery pass by. A beautiful living room, a salon, four cabins, and one apartment may be found downstairs. A modest library containing literature about the Nile and Egypt may be found in the cozy salon. It’s the ideal place to unwind after a long day, with its plush seats.
