Spanish Footwear Brand Flabelus Hosts a 6-Day “Nile Affair” Cruise

Flabelus dove into the heart of Egypt's cultural paraphernalia with its own Nile-destined tale into a season headlined by major museum debuts and contemporary Pyramid view installations.

The Spanish footwear and lifestyle label, which is defined by craft-driven velvet slippers, and literary approach to branding, convened thirteen women for a six-day venture now shared within the title "The Flabelus Nile Affair," initiated with typewritten, wax-sealed letters that provided no further context, other than the date and a name of a boat called "The Lumiere." The women began in Cairo with a late-night check-in at the Four Seasons Nile Plaza and a morning sweep through the Pyramids, Sphinx and fresh halls of the Grand Egyptian Museum before they boarded a plane to Aswan. On the Lumiere, their cabins had been arranged with linens of cotton from Egypt, custom looks, and nightly cards for itinerate-expectations.

The Nile provided the rest: Philae Temple at dawn, a candlelit dinner set directly along the sand of Herbiab Island, Kom Ombo aglow at sunrise and the narrow, dramatic passage of Gebel El Silsila.The grand finale unfolded in Luxor, where the thirteen moved through the valleys of Kings, Feast of the valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak and Luxor Temple at dusk, and ultimately wrapped with a dinner at the Sofitel Winter Palace, hosted with support from the Ministry of Tourism.
