Description

When Egypt was a part of the Ottoman Empire, Turkish and Egyptian cultures intertwined. Words and titles were borrowed from one language and absorbed into the other. Bey is Turkish for ‘lord’. Once used to address the governors of provinces it eventually became an honorary title, awarded to certain individuals for their achievements. The official use of bey was made obsolete by the 1952 Revolution, which brought socialist ideals to Egypt. Nevertheless people still call each other bey, but with more warmth than formality; it’s a compliment suggesting someone is influential or simply well appreciated.
Onboard El Bey you may choose from six delightful cabins, each named for a bey.
