Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Flight from Cairo to Aswan

Dahabiya

Enjoy sailing the Nile in comfort and style! Instead of cruising the Nile with a large cruise ship or a traditional felucca, choose a grand and luxurious dahabiya for a romantic and unforgettable way of travel. A dahabiya is a large sail boat with elegantly furnished cabins in colonial style with all the modern conveniences.

A dahabiya is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends, since it has an intimate atmosphere. Enjoy the Nile scenery at a leisurely pace while visiting the ancient Egyptian monuments along the way from Luxor to Aswan.

The dahabiya has private cabins with ensuite bathrooms, including a toilet, wash basin and shower. All cabins are equipped with air-conditioning and electrical outlets. The dahabiya features a generator for electricity and a large sundeck where you can lounge and watch the scenery. There is also a fully equipped kitchen where your personal chef will prepare wonderful Egyptian cuisine for you every day.
