Originally designed to carry celebrities and royalty, the dahabeya was a ship that was used by pharaohs and sultans to navigate the Nile in ancient times and which today gives its name to the most exclusive boats. Thanks to slow navigation, it allows you to experience and appreciate the jewels of this fascinating country to the fullest. You will travel between temples and legendary atmospheres, to discover Egyptian culture and history, secret islands and small villages, contemplating the beauty of the banks of the Nile from the terrace of the ship.
Explore
Enjoy the modernity of the Arabesque dahabeya between the historical visits of Ancient Egyptian sites and relics. Whether you’re unwinding on the sundeck jacuzzi, enjoying the serenity of your private and luxurious cabin, or getting pampered by our 5 Star staff, you’ll go home with a full dose of R&R and memories of Ancient Egyptian history and breathtaking sites.
