"Jewel of the Nile\nA Revamped Sun Boat Becomes a Destination all its Own\n\"It's British colonial with Bedouin influences,\" designer Shahira Fahmy says of Sun Boat III, Abercrombie &amp;amp; Kent's 18-cabin yacht, which she renovated.\n\nThe 6,400-square-foot, four-deck vessel transports guests down the Nile.\nThe Sahara Lounge \"looks like the hunting tents of Egyptian royalty,\" Fahmy says. Antique kilims are on the floor.\nLeather armchairs are mixed with antiques and Egyptian artifacts in the Carter Lounge. \"It's a haven of comfort with a palette of sand, stone and earth,\" says the designer. Turkish-style parchment lanterns illuminate the space. An Egyptian tray hangs at rear.\nTorch lights with antique red-glass shades frame the river view in the dining room. The charcoal drawing depicts scenes of Egypt.\nGauze draperies soften the light in a suite. Fahmy created the artwork on papyrus above the sofa.\nIn the Royal Suite, twin canopy beds, draped in an Egyptian cotton decorated with small palm trees, \"offer a cocoonlike feeling,\" says the designer.\n\"You can relax and watch the scenery go by here,\" Fahmy says of the veranda. \"The canvas awning can be opened up at night to show a sky full of stars.\"\nOn the pool deck, eight pavilions with beds \"provide a place for lounging as the boat sails between different temples,\" she notes. Palms planted in the containers call to mind an oasis."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
