About

Cruising the Nile on a Dahabiya offers a serene and historic journey through ancient Egypt's landscapes. This traditional sailing boat, powered by wind, provides an intimate and luxurious experience. With a high crew-to-guest ratio, personalized service is unparalleled, making interactions with the crew a memorable highlight. Dahabiyas typically sail between Luxor and Aswan, stopping at major attractions and lesser-known sites, allowing passengers to appreciate ancient monuments in relative solitude. The onboard experience is peaceful and idyllic, with opportunities to engage with local culture and history. Delicious meals are prepared onboard, and evenings can be spent dining under the stars or enjoying local music. The dahabiya's small size allows it to dock at inaccessible sites, offering a unique perspective on the Nile's rural scenery and hidden gems. With modern comforts and traditional decor, each cabin is designed for relaxation, making this cruise an unforgettable experience.
