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?
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.
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:

After a rocky start (the driver had been in an accident on his way to pick me up,) the company very quickly sent another driver/guide named Mohammed, who was a real pro. Thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Egypt!
Really excellent tour from Mohamed, and we learned so much about Egypt and went to places we never would have found as tourists at home. My girlfriend had a 12 hour stop over on the way to Ethiopia and it was the perfect way to see Cairo. I hope people
