SS Karim

(Only bookable on a charter basis)
(Ideal for small royal groups of up to 32 people.)

Built in 1917, the historic ship was originally used by King Fouad I of Egypt and then by his son, King Farouk. After the Egyptian Revolution, the S/S Karim was used by the only president of Egypt and hosted President Gamal Abd El Nasser and later President Anwar Al Sadat and his wife Gihan El Sadat.
Still powered by its original 1917 steam engine and sternwheel paddles, the S/S Karim combines modern comfort with the splendor and rum of its historic past.
The boat is decorated in a historical style with many subtle reminders of its outstanding past.
