New venues on board refurbished Tui River Cruises Nile river cruise ship Tui Al Horeya have been revealed ahead of its debut next month.

Features on the 145-passenger vessel include a hybrid multi-functional top deck, with a swimming pool and two hot tubs by day, and al fresco dining space by night.
Felucca will be a reservation only dining space for 30 passengers per evening offering locally inspired cuisine from shish veal kebab, boneless chicken and beef kofta served with rice,
The main restaurant, Lazeeza, which means ‘delicious’ in Arabic, will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner with waiter service.
A gala dinner for each sailing will take place in Lazeeza where a seven course Egyptian meal is served.
The Observatory area will host nightly traditional entertainment as well as quizzes, music and films.
The wellness area includes a massage room and exercise area with a treadmill and cycling machine.
Head of river cruises Katy Berzins said: “We have focused on Tui Al Horeya having quality venues, with flexibility in mind for all our customers.
“The design of each of these venues gives choice to our customers from the intimate Felucca dining space to the traditional Lazeeza main restaurant.
“We’ve gone from the European waterways of the Rhine, Danube, Main and Moselle and now our first North African cruise ship down the Nile, which will offer our customers the chance to experience Egypt in a whole new light.
“Coupled with the option of Tui flying means that we can truly ensure a seamless end-to-end customer experience.”
