Its Moroccan-inspired design sets it apart and offers an unforgettable journey while sailing through 7,000 years of history. Onboard, there is a variety of recreational activities, including a swimming pool, a sun deck with a recreational area, themed parties, and a gym.

The cabins are fully air-conditioned and are divided into 5 categories, from Standard to Senior Suite. The main restaurant offers buffet meals with international and local dishes. The Lounge Bar is the perfect place for afternoon tea, cocktails, and evening entertainment. It has been designed to provide a unique Arabian touch while enjoying cocktails and Galabeya parties.
