The Steam Ship Sudan, an authentic steamship built at the dawn of the 20th century, brings turn-of-the-century travel to life again. A boat inhabited by the memory of the King Fouad who received it as a gift in 1885; the memory of the Belle Époque travellers who used it; or that of Hercule Poirot who Agatha Christie had walking its decks in her writings... A decor seeming frozen in time with its retro charm and its brass and woodwork setting. Sailing on the Steam Ship Sudan is like being on no other cruise ship on the Nile.

The boat is regularly restored with a care to reconciling its original ambiance with the accoutrements necessary to respond to the needs of today?s traveller (air conditioning, bathrooms, etc.).
