Jaz Cruises is the Nile arm of Jaz Hotel Group, the hospitality arm of Egypt's Travco Group, founded in 1979 by Hamed El Chiaty and still family-owned. It is the largest single operator on the river and runs its boats under several brand families, Jaz, Iberotel and Steigenberger among them. Its distinguishing feature is vertical integration: the same group owns the inbound agency, the hotels and the boats.
