The Philae doesn’t look very impressive from the outside with its vestigial paddle-wheels. The Zhara is the boat behind the Philae.
Inside is another story. The rooms (I can’t really call them cabins) are huge. The entry has shelves for two bags, a closet, a room safe, coffee maker, electric kettle, and minibar.
The main room has a bed and sitting area with a remote controlled window shade. There are two European two pin outlets, one above the nightstand and the other above the desk. The nightstand drawer had a universal adapter plug.
The bathroom is not the tiny cruise ship / river boat standard. There is one European two pin outlet and one dual 115v/220v outlet.
A switch on the wall turns the window at the shower opaque for privacy.
The dining room is on the lowest deck. It has small windows so doesn’t have much in the way of views. The food and service were excellent.
There is a lounge above the restaurant.
The top deck has lounge chairs and a heated pool.
There were a few annoyances. The air conditioning rattled a bit. The Wi-Fi was unreliable, frequently cutting out for a few minutes to a few hours. But these were minor and the overall experience was wonderful. I should also mention that the staff were all friendly and helpful.
