Therefore, the small number of cabins provides a more personalized and intimate atmosphere, complementing the romance given by the river views and greater landscapes. Be it ancient temples and monuments or simply an escape to relax and view the scenery, in either case, Dahabiya Nile cruises offer truly one of those unforgettable journeys.

Egypt is a country gifted with history, culture, and nature. And there’s no better way to experience all that this amazing destination has in store than embarking on a Dahabiya Nile Cruise. These exclusive sailboats rank among the most elite and charming ways to tour around the Nile River, coursing through the very core of Egypt. Furthermore, what will you discover aboard a Dahabiya Nile Cruise, and why should you include it on your travel list?

What is a Dahabiya Nile Cruise?

A Dahabiya Nile Cruise is a small, handsome sailboat, designed for luxury river travel. Interestingly, ancient Egyptian sailboats that kings and nobility used to cross the Nile inspired these traditional boats. In addition, they have an unmistakable, dignified design: one that includes a wooden hull, billowing sails, and spacious cabins fitted with all the modern facilities that one might desire.

These cruises usually range from 5-day up to 10-day voyages, depending on your itinerary. Some cruises will emphasize the ancient temples and monuments found on both sides of the Nile, while others will be quite relaxing, letting passengers catch views, sunbathe, and take refreshing breezes off the river.

Why Choose a Dahabiya Nile Cruise?

Many reasons make the Dahabiya Nile Cruise a must on your bucket list of things to do. For instance, these are some of the benefits that you will have, to name just a few:

  1. A Luxurious Experience:  Dahabiya Nile Cruises are not just about luxury. In fact, you’ll get first-class service, delicious food, spacious cabins, and great views on every corner of this boat.
  2. More Personalized Experience: A Dahabiya Nile Cruise does not include the impersonal feeling one might get from River cruise ships. Instead, it offers a more intimate and engaging atmosphere. With a limited number of cabins, you’ll get a chance to know your fellow passengers and your crew more easily. As a result, you can enjoy a more relaxed and private atmosphere.
  3. Hidden Gem Visits: With a Dahabiya, you get to go to places where larger ships wouldn’t find easy access. This allows for a unique exploration of lesser-known destinations. We will show you smaller villages, inaccessible temples visited by fewer travelers, and hidden corners of the river.
  4. Never-to-be-forgotten adventures: from the grand ancient architecture of Luxor and Karnak temples to the vibrant colored souks of Aswan. All of these experiences come together under one single roof in the Dahabiya Nile Cruise for Egypt.

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

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!
