What is Dahabiya?

Sailing in small group
maximum 10 guests
No motor engine
discover Nile islands
Much more visits than regular cruise
possible to take it private
original and peaceful option to navigate on the river Nile
A journey on this legendary river on board a small houseboat offers the romance of the past. Sailing on such boats, known as Dahabiyas, was a popular way to travel and relax. While the boat glides over the water, past placid country scenes, the ruins of famous temples loom up on the horizon. That was how 19th-century travellers going up and down the Nile experienced life on board. Follow in their footsteps and sail the Nile by Dahabiya.

This exclusive, relaxing way of travelling is for those who want the best. We can now invite travellers to recapture the elegant days of the past. Come aboard and enjoy!
