The Dahabiya Nile Cruise is very highly recommended to sail along the Nile because it’s such an authentic and romantic way to travel along the river, very much like in the time of the Pharaohs.
Sailing in the Nile will be an experience that will take your breath away. The biggest river in Africa is surrounded on each side by ancient temples, welcoming cities and villages, and remote islands of people living in the traditional way. We will take you through a pleasant tour of ancient Egyptian constructions by relaxing and enjoying yourself on board
The Dahabiya boat is operated mainly by sail, but the boats travel with a tugboat in case there is no wind. Sailing on the Nile in a Dahabiya from Esna (1-hour drive south of Luxor) to Aswan will enable you to see many places rarely seen by tourists. You will stop for sights that are seldom seen on the regular Nile Cruises, and you will get very close to villages along the river and real life in Egypt.
