Accommodation

There are several categories of cabins that you can choose from when booking a river cruise on TUI Al Horeya:

Cabin	Deck	Size
Single Cabin	2 & 3	118 square feet
Superior French Balcony Cabin	2, 3 & 4	161 square feet
Balcony Suite Cabin	3	248 square feet
French Balcony Suite Cabin	2	269 square feet

All of the cabins are comfortable and modern, and include a range of standard features such as air-conditioning, a TV and a private bathroom with a shower.

And because the ship is aimed at the British cruise market, there are tea and coffee-making facilities in every cabin too. Of course!

The Suite cabins include a couple of extra perks to make your stay even more special. You don’t just get a significant upgrade on space, but you’ll also get a continental breakfast served in your room twice per week, and a complimentary 30-minute massage.

The Balcony Suite Cabin is also quite rare on a river cruise ship. Most river ships only have a French Balcony at best, but the Balcony Suite Cabin has a small Juliette balcony that you can step out onto, to really appreciate the stunning views as you sail along the Nile.

Dining

The main restaurant on TUI Al Horeya is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving a mix of buffet and show-cooking dishes.

Every taste is catered for, with a fantastic range of options for every meal. The restaurant has a bright and modern feel, and is a great place to enjoy your food alongside an included drink.

There’s also a top deck eatery offering al fresco dining during lunch and dinner, though you’ll need to book for the evening meal. During lunch, expect a range of lighter bites perfect for poolside snacking.

Every afternoon, teas and coffees are served alongside a range of cakes on the top deck too.

Entertainment & Facilities

On a Nile river cruise, you’re going to spend a fantastic amount of time exploring the incredible ports and the sights that they have to offer.

But your ship is also a star attraction – and it has some excellent facilities to keep you entertained.

The top deck has a swimming pool along with two hot tubs, along with a range of sunloungers to enjoy. Activities are often held on the top deck during the day, too, and there’s a bar when you just want to sip on a drink and soak in the view.

Inside the ship, the Atrium is the main hub. Here you can arrange shore excursions, get any help you need (including booking follow-up cruises!) and help yourself to tea and coffee throughout the day.

There’s a Wellness Area onboard too, which includes a massage room and a gym with fitness equipment, if you feel like all the walking tours aren’t quite enough!

At night, the ship’s Observatory Lounge becomes the heart of the ship, serving as the main bar area and hosting a wealth of entertainment, including live music, local performers, quizzes and movie screenings.

Itinerary

The Legend of the Nile itinerary offered on TUI Al Horeya focuses on the areas around Luxor and Aswan, which are your gateways to many of the thrilling sights of Egypt.

From Luxor, you can visit the Valley of the Kings, the Luxor Museum, the Mummification Museum and the temples at Luxor itself and at Karnak.

Expect to see breathtaking tombs and statues, along with a host of treasures. You can even take to the skies to see the sights from a hot air balloon if you’re feeling brave!

Cruises will include short visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo, too, smaller cities with their own impressive temples.

And then it’ll be onto Aswan, with plenty of time to explore the High Dam, the Philae Temple and the Tombs of the Nobles, with night-time trips offering a different side to these spectacular landmarks.

Final Word

TUI Al Horeya’s an impressive ship – your perfect vessel for a memorable holiday exploring the wonders of Egypt.

All sailings are all-inclusive, with your flights and transfers covered by your fare. You just need to turn up at your chosen UK airport, and TUI will then take you on the trip of a lifetime.
