Wonderful 4 nights Voyage on Dahabiya The Orient

Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt in Luxor and Aswan through this Dahabiya the Orient from Esna to Aswan for 4 nights 5 days. This authentic Dahabiya The Orient is a colonial-style genuine Nile cruise based on the design of an original traditional Dahabiya from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The half-shaded sundeck is the beating heart of this traditional two-masted sailing boat.

Guaranteed weekly departure Every Saturday onboard Dahabiya The Orient

Rates for Children:

Sharing a cabin/suite. Free for children aged 1 to 4.
Discount of 20% for children aged 5 to 12.

It’s the ideal spot for relaxing on a wooden deck chair while watching the scenery pass by. A beautiful living room, a salon, four cabins, and one apartment may be found downstairs. A modest library containing literature about the Nile and Egypt may be found in the cozy salon. It’s the ideal place to unwind after a long day, with its plush seats. While sipping Turkish coffee or a glass of Alexandrian wine, swap tales, exchange experiences, read a book, or play a game of backgammon.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
