Max Passengers: 16 Ship Type:River Cruise Ship Operated by: Dahabya Nile River Cruises
A Dahabiya is an Arabic word meaning "the golden one." It is a large, comfortable sailing boat of simple but elegant form. These vessels are replicas of the original Dahabiya boats from the 19th century, using the same design as a typical Dahabiya used in the past. While sailing on board, all guests can enjoy an exquisite and unforgettable experience combined with the comfort of today, with fully furnished cabins and a suite with a private terrace, as you feel the beauty of the Nile River.
These Dahabiya ships offer a trip to remember while enjoying privacy, relaxing on the sundeck in the morning and the evening under a sky filled with stars. While on board, enjoy the beautiful landscape and stop at towns and villages to visit famous historical landmarks along the Nile and others hardly visited by tourists.
The Dahabya ships are built on the traditional sailing model of ancient Egypt. This boat runs on pure wind power and can also be towed by a tugboat if the wind is calm. Due to the small size of the vessels, they can dock at the most inaccessible sites.

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.
