Dahabiya Nile Cruises

A cruise down the Nile on a Dahabiya Nile Cruise is the most exclusive and luxurious way to experience the river. These boats, known as Dahabeyas in Arabic, recall a past era of Egyptian tourism when the elite of Europe used similar vessels to explore the Nile Valley. So, take the classic way to see the Nile and sail into the past. Enjoy a tranquil sailing, explore unique temples and tombs not on your average Nile cruise route, see the ancient monuments without the crowds, and visit picturesque local villages and idyllic islands.

Avoid the crowds and prepackaged entertainment on larger ships and enjoy exclusive comfort and privacy on your trip down the Nile between Luxor and Aswan by booking one of our Dahabiya Nile Cruises!
