With unique routes and an opportunity to experience local life, this cruise is perfect for anyone who wants to see the Egyptian culture up close.

II. The Inspiration behind Eyaru

The name “Eyaru” is an ancient holographic name that reflects the idea of what paradise paradise like for the pharaohs. Everything on Eyaru was inspired by and customized according to the “Eyaru” concept, from the design of the cabins to the meals served on board. The designer made sure that each cabin is unique, with different colors and inscriptions that represent the ancient Egyptian culture and nature of southern Egypt.
