A Dahabiya is an Arabic word meaning ‘the golden one. It’s a large comfortable sailing boat of a simple but elegant form with two large sails. Our boat is a replica of original Dahabiya boats from the 19th century. Built by local craftsmen in Esna following the design of a typical Dahabiya used in the past. They offer the romance of the past combined with the comfort of today.
