M/S Omar El Khayam

Have you heard about the Omar El-Khayam Lake Nasser Cruise? It’s named after the legendary Persian scholar, Omar Khayyam, and it’s definitely one of the coolest ships sailing on Egypt’s Lake Nasser. This beauty was built 12 years ago but don’t let its age fool you. It’s had top-notch renovations in 2011 and again in 2018, keeping it in tip-top shape—truly one of Egypt’s best-maintained vessels.

What’s really awesome is the variety it offers. The cruise sets sail every Monday and Friday, and you can pick from three different itineraries. Whether you’re up for a full week of adventure with a 7-night stay, a midweek break of 4 nights, or just want a quick 3-night escape, there’s something just for you. What more could you ask for in a getaway?
