Dahabiya Cruise

Sail the Nile in Timeless Elegance and Experience the Magic of our Dahabiya Cruises

What is a Dahabiya Nile Cruise?

A Dahabiya Nile cruise is a luxurious and intimate way to explore the Nile River in Egypt aboard a traditional Egyptian sailing vessel. These elegant, small boats typically accommodate 8 to 24 passengers, offering a serene and exclusive experience compared to larger cruise ships. Dahabiyas feature wooden decks, spacious cabins, and modern amenities like air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. They often rely on wind power, providing a peaceful and eco-friendly journey. Itineraries usually span 4 to 7 days, traveling between Esna and Aswan, with stops at iconic sites like the Valley of the Kings, Edfu Temple, and Philae Temple. The small group size allows for personalized service, gourmet meals, and access to lesser-known, uncrowded locations. A Dahabiya cruise is perfect for travelers seeking a blend of luxury, history, and tranquility on the Nile.
