The Merkaba
A Vessel of Light, Movement, and Transformation
In ancient Egypt, Per Ba was the House of the Soul —
a sacred sanctuary where the soul could return,
rest, and remain in connection with the divine.
Per Ba Merkaba carries this meaning onto the Nile,
shaping the vessel as a living temple — a place of peace, reverence, and inner passage,
where the earthly journey and the celestial current move side by side.
Sound Dome and Meditation Hall
A sacred space inspired by Ptah and Thoth, where sound, breath, and intention align — echoing the ancient Egyptian belief that creation begins through vibration.
Sun Deck and Pool
2 open decks to the sky and river, this space honors Ra — the solar force of life, movement, and renewal.
Luxury Cabins
12 Private sanctuaries inspired by the Duat, where stars, symbols, and sacred details support rest, protection, and inner passage along the Nile.

Sailing on Per Ba Merkaba felt unlike anything else on the Nile. The pace, the silence, and the care in every detail made the journey feel deeply personal. It was less about sightseeing and more about truly being there.
