On board, you will stay in cabins that are simple yet decorated with great refinement, in a distinctly Old English style. On the upper deck, you can take in the scenery while enjoying some downtime.
At the bow, the lounge – with its banquettes piled with cushions, its rugs and decorative objects – has an oriental charm, a genuine invitation to comfortable “meditation”.
In the evening, Lazuli offers a different atmosphere: dinner at a large communal table on deck by candlelight under a starry sky, or on an island amid palm trees.
On request, a private dinner can be arranged for added intimacy.
While preserving its old-world charm, Lazuli offers guests today's comforts: Internet, video projector, air conditioning.

Activities offered
The different stops along the way reveal the treasures of Egypt.
On board the Roi Farouk, each day is an invitation to discovery and escape, with exclusive excursions and activities for travellers in search of authenticity.
The 5-night cruise, from Sunday to Friday, between Esna and Aswan combines historical discovery with traditional comfort. The journey begins with guided visits of Luxor’s iconic monuments, and continues with cultural stops, notably at El Kab, Edfu, and Kom Ombo.
Travellers can also explore traditional villages, discovering Egyptian rural life, meeting local craftsmen and tasting local specialities. Riverside picnics offer unique moments of immersion in the landscapes of the Nile.
If the dahabieh is privatised, the cruise can last up to 7 nights, depending on your wishes and availability.
