Dahabiya Nile Cruise Package

A dahabiya is the most beautiful few days you can spend in Egypt, but Egypt is more than the river. This package wraps the whole country around your sail: the Pyramids and the treasures of Cairo, the temples of Luxor and Aswan, the colossi of Abu Simbel, and at the center of it all, your dahabiya gliding up the Nile. One team plans every piece, so you simply arrive and let the journey carry you.

This is what sets us apart. The boat owners sell you the boat. We sell you Egypt, with the dahabiya as its jewel. That means no stitching together flights, hotels, transfers, and a cruise from four different companies, hoping they line up. We handle the lot, and we tailor every day to you.

Every detail is handled: the flights within Egypt, the hotels, the transfers, the guide, and above all the matching of you to the right dahabiya for your style and budget. Want pure luxury and a private boat? We arrange it. Honeymoon romance? We set the scene. A family adventure? We make it smooth.

The result is a trip with no seams and no stress, built around the most magical way to see the Nile. Choose your boat with our help on how to choose the best dahabiya, see the sail itself on the Esna to Aswan cruise page, and explore the romantic and luxury versions in our honeymoon dahabiya and luxury and private charter pages. It all begins with the dahabiya Nile cruise guide.

A typical journey opens in Cairo, where you stand before the Pyramids and the Sphinx and wander the Grand Egyptian Museum. Then you fly south to Luxor, explore Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, and transfer the short distance to Esna to board your dahabiya. For the next four nights you sail to Aswan, visiting Edfu, Kom Ombo, and the hidden sites, mooring at quiet islands, dining under the stars. From Aswan you can add the unforgettable temples of Abu Simbel before flying home.
