ABOARD the REAL 'KARNAK'

Published on: 5th April 2022

Last month, Dean Street Press director, Rupert, and his wife (the fashion historian and YouTuber Amanda Hallay) walked – or rather, sailed – in Agatha Christie’s footsteps as they voyaged up The Nile on the legendary S.S. Sudan. This was the vessel that Agatha sailed upon for her honeymoon with second husband Max Mallowan, and which inspired her seminal novel, Death on the Nile. Amanda documented the experience for her YouTube channel (The Ultimate Fashion History), including a walk-through of the boat, a look at the cabins, and the very 'meta moment' of watching the 2004 episode of Poirot on the very vessel it was filmed!
