For centuries archaeologists and adventurers have travelled through Egypt, a land with an irresistible attraction. Egypt is blessed by the Nile, which flows from the South to the North.
These river-going sailboats were common in Egypt in the days of the monarchy (1920s-40s) when aristocrats and sophisticated travelers loved to cruise the Nile in style. They rented the boats for weeks at a time, and made their way from temple to temple enjoying the river breeze. The boats had four to ten cabins, bathrooms and a host of servants. The dahabiyya's were popular amongst those who wished to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to drink in the landscapes, and peruse the monuments and villages on the riverbanks.
We've revived those elegant days, but with modern comforts and conveniences. We're proud to offer the discriminating traveler Eight air-conditioned dahabiya:PrincessHanna
Many visitors come to Egypt expressly to fulfill their dream of sailing the Nile. Most of them have been obliged to do this on large, fast-moving cruise boats. Our dahabiya allow you to experience the Nile 's romance in an intimate, privileged setting. Relying on the soft river currents, our dahabiya take you back in time to a gentler, more gracious era.
