Eyaru Dahabiya: 7 nights cruise Voyage from Luxor to Aswan

Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt in Luxor and Aswan in luxury and style through the Eyaru Dahabiya for 7 Nights and 8 Days. The term “Eyaru” is an old heliographic name that represents the ancient Egyptians’ concept of heaven, the afterlife for ancient Egyptians who reside in the Eyaru fields.

During the building, Eyaru’s designer ensured that each cabin is unique, with a unique look, such as the colors of the cabins, yet all are connected to the meaning of the word Eyaru. Papyrus plants, lotus flowers, palms, and banana trees appear in the inscriptions behind the bed, bedspread coverings, and pillows, representing ancient Egyptian culture and the landscape of southern Egypt.

When Eyaru was in the design process, it was inspired by the notion of Eyaru. Everything on Eyaru was inspired by and tailored to the “Eyaru” idea. It was created to demonstrate and fully enjoy the real Egyptian culture of the region. The Egyptian spirit is central to Eyaru. You will be immersed in Egyptian culture and will notice the Egyptian soul in everything around you. Everything on Eyaru is handcrafted, right down to the plates and carpets.

Every chamber has a different design inspired by the notion of Eyaru during the period of the Ancient Egyptians, so you’ll enjoy the Egyptian atmosphere in each one. You will be treated to the most exquisite hospitality while discovering new locations in Egypt via innovative routes. You will visit several spectacular sights along the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan, including El Hagz Island, Bashaw Village, and Gebel El-Silsila, which are exclusive to Dahabiyas and not available on major cruises.

You will not only be able to tour the wonderful sights between Luxor and Aswan, but you will also be able to experience true local life in each city and tour their marketplace. In Bashaw Village, you will stay at the home of a local and interact with him and his family. You will spend a day in the life of an Egyptian and witness how they live.

The Egyptian vibe will also pervade your meals on Eyaru. During your stay, all of your meals will be traditional Egyptian cuisine. You may also buy fresh ingredients for your supper that night or fish to cook on the sundeck on your travels to the local shops! You will get the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Egyptian lifestyle. There is also the option of attending live cooking sessions for your supper and learning local dishes to attempt when you return home.

Due to Eyaru’s most prominent feature, its pergola, Eyaru may be enjoyed all year. A section of the sundeck is glassed off by the pergola. So there’s no need to stay indoors during the winter months and lose out on the Nile’s beautiful beauty. As a result, Eyaru is one of the few Dahabiyas that sail between Luxor and Aswan.

Eyaru has no motors and is towed by a tugboat from afar, so you won’t hear or feel anything throughout your journey. For the first time on the Nile, the Eyaru crew sleeps on board the tugboat at night, giving you full solitude.

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!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
