What Is a Dahabiya Nile Cruise?

A Dahabiya is a traditional Egyptian sailing vessel, historically associated with journeys along the Nile. Today, Dahabiya cruises offer travelers an intimate and relaxed way to discover the river, away from the scale and atmosphere of larger cruise ships.

Instead of travelling with hundreds of passengers, guests enjoy a smaller vessel, a more personal onboard atmosphere and a journey that allows time to appreciate the scenery of Upper Egypt.

A Dahabiya cruise is particularly suited to travelers who value privacy, cultural discovery, comfort and a slower pace of travel.
