Em Hotep, Salaam, Salve, Failte... VII Sisters Salon proudly welcomes the passengers and crew of the Golden Phoenix, as she moors in Alexandria. Please come inside. Put off your sandals and I shall fetch you some cool water to drink.

Ptolemy I Soter said,

"I Ptolemy, the satrap, restore to Horus, the avenger of his father, the territory of Patanut (Egypt), from this day forth for ever..."

In keeping with his wish to intertwine Pharonic and Hellenic consuetude, the VII Sisters Salon was created. Here, even the most contemporary Alexandrians can learn ancient Egyptian beauty secrets. Wig a little frizzy from fording the high seas? Have it oiled, rebraided and beaded. Getting ready for that special night on the town? Purchase a new tunic, perfume cone, or wig. Sweet wax is available for depilatory purposes... It's edible too. Want that special look? Have your brows and lashes plucked. Your eyes will be lined with the finest kohl. Has the sea air parched your complexion? Try one of our natron scrubs. And for the truly adventurous, we also offer traditional tattooing.

Perhaps you just need to remove the kinks from that travel weary bod. Be oiled... be pampered! Relax and gossip with your beauticians, the sisters Zeina and Sahirnee.

Looking good isn't just limited to female Alexandrians, you know. VII Sisters is a unisex salon. So gentlemen, stop in for a clean shave, or have your head polished.

VII Sisters will extend its normal business hours to remain open throughout the entire Nile Cruise. Visit anytime. Just be sure to make an appointment first.
