Dahabiya Nile Cruise

Overview

At Simply Egypt, our Dahabiya Nile Cruise packages are available from just £1699pp including flights, full-board basis and an excursions package. Contact our ‘Egypt Specialists’ to enquire and book.

A Dahabiya Luxury Nile Cruise gives you a sailing experience in a traditional Egypt way. No engines, just the sound of the wind caressing the boat sails as you glide effortlessly along the famous river. The great explorers of the past would have sailed the Nile on these types of boat. Dahabiya takes you on a small cruise boat which combines historical and mystical sightseeing with the peace and tranquillity of a Nile cruise as you dreamt it should be.

A Dahabiya cruise on the river Nile is catered and allows you to explore the ancient sites of Egypt in a unique way. Our Dahabiya Nile Cruise sails every Monday from Luxor Port.

Experience a relaxing, refined and luxurious stay on-board a majestic Dahabiya Cruiser, to visit a gentler era when elite and sophisticated travellers cruised the Nile in style. This really is a cruise experience like no other on the majestic River Nile.

The elegant, well-appointed Dahabiya Nile Cruise features just 16 spacious cabins, offering guests a true taste of refined luxury and relaxed privacy.

Enjoy the warmth of the Egyptian sun on the ship’s splendid sun deck or relax in the Jacuzzi while soaking up the sights as they smoothly slide by.

Dahabiya Nile Cruise revives the heyday of luxury Nile Cruises while offering modern comforts and conveniences. The traditional Egyptian Dahabiya is a sail boat that relies on wind power alone with no engine. This gives it something that is in very short supply nowadays: silence! Enjoy the peace and stillness of a river cruising atmosphere absent of engine noise but filled instead with the caress of wind upon the 2 large sails that will transport you across this famous river.

Welcome to the Nile Cruise experience that has been enjoyed for centuries, even millennia. A Dahabiya is a traditional cruise ship that operates in comfort and predates the diesel and even Nile steamers that we see today.

What our customers say

We are proud to have received so many positive reviews from our customers. Here are just a few of the things they have said about us.

This was our third stay in Rixos Sharm el Sheikh. The complex is well run by a team of dedicated friendly staff that make one feel welcome at all times.

Mr Bannerman

The experience overall was amazing. The Pyramid Valley Hotel is the perfect location for visiting the sites of Giza with a free view of the Pyramids lightshow from the rooftop restaurant. The MS Royal Viking was a lovely ship.
