Welcome Aboard the Dahabiya MINYA – Your Nile Cruise Adventure

Step aboard the stunning Dahabiya MINYA, the "happy bride" of the Nile, and embark on a journey like no other. This 45-meter long and 8-meter wide traditional sailing ship is the epitome of elegance, designed to offer you an intimate, romantic experience as you glide along the legendary Nile River. With a capacity for just 14 guests, the MINYA offers an exclusive cruise with personalized service, ensuring that every moment of your journey is extraordinary.

The Dahabiya MINYA was completed in 2021, boasting six beautifully appointed cabins and one opulent suite. As you step inside, you'll be surrounded by a blend of comfort and Egyptian craftsmanship, from locally sourced bed linens to hand-picked decorative elements that reflect the heart of Egypt. The MINYA is not just a ship—it's a floating sanctuary, offering the most refined sailing experience on the Nile.

Whether you’re here to witness the ancient wonders or to relax in style, every moment aboard is curated to make your Egypt tour unforgettable.

Why Choose a Dahabiya Cruise?

Unlike large cruise ships, Dahabiyas like the MINYA offer an intimate escape from the bustling crowds, allowing you to explore Egypt’s hidden treasures at your own pace. These traditional sailing vessels, once beloved by early 20th-century explorers, have seen a revival as travelers seek the romantic and serene experience of cruising the Nile.

On a Dahabiya, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to spots that larger ships simply can’t reach—quaint islands, charming villages, and tranquil riverbanks where you can walk, explore, and immerse yourself in the local culture. The gentle wind in the sails, the sound of the river, and the picturesque sunsets over the Nile make every moment on board a dream come true.
