About Queen Anat
The newest and largest boat in the fleet, Queen Anat was built in 2024 and runs 55 metres along two decks. Ten cabins and four suites open to large windows, with twin beds that combine and Egyptian cotton bedding; the suites carry a single large bed.
She sails under two masts with a motorboat alongside, on seven-night round trips from Esna or from Aswan. The route drifts past El Hegz and Herdiab islands, the village of Bassaw, Kom Ombo, Gebel el-Silsila and Edfu, reaching Aswan for Philae and the High Dam before turning back.
The lounge and bar carry free internet, a flat-screen and board games, while the sun deck holds oriental seating, shaded corners and a dipping pool. Dining is full board, traditional Egyptian, with afternoon tea and pastries.
