The importance of Nile-floating hotels as a national income source in Egypt is highlighted in this work. Statistical analysis of collected data of previous accidents that occurred during the past 12 years is presented. The results showed that fire is ranked third among the four common types of recorded accidents. Records also showed that fire is one of the causes of killing or injuring passengers and crew members aboard Nile-floating hotels. An integrated fire and evacuation simulation programme, "FDS+EVAC" is used to analyse the consequences of a worst-case cabin fire scenario that could occur in an accommodation deck aboard a Nile-floating hotel. A series of simulations of the fire scenario under consideration involving an existing design of an accommodation deck as well as seven suggested alternative designs/arrangements of the same deck which are assumed to have equivalent or better level of fire safety have been carried out. The results are then analysed and discussed.
