Dahabiya Boats
Traditional sail boats with 4–10 cabins. Quiet, intimate, and unhurried — moored at hidden riverbanks the big ships can't reach. The most romantic way to sail the Nile.
Discover Dahabiya Boats
Dahabiyas are wind-powered, hand-built boats with no more than 10 cabins. They visit lesser-known sites like Gebel Silsila and El-Kab, anchor at sandbanks for sunset dinners, and feel more like a private yacht than a cruise.
