The dahabiyya has 10 beautifully appointed, fully-equipped cabins, each with en suite facilities (including shower and air conditioning).
HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
The base for our first three nights is the elegant Oberoi Mena House Hotel in the shadow of the Pyramids at Giza. Originally a royal hunting lodge, this luxurious retreat was a favourite of Churchill's and it is here that Presidents Carter and Sadat once famously met.
