Meet Bes, the charismatic and unconventional Egyptian deity revered for his distinctive appearance and multifaceted role in ancient mythology. Originating during the New Kingdom period, Bes transcended traditional divine representations with his dwarf-like stature, leonine features, and playful demeanor. Renowned as the guardian of households, protector of families, and patron of music and dance, Bes was adored for his ability to ward off malevolent forces, ensuring safety, fertility, and merriment within Egyptian homes. Despite his unconventional appearance, Bes' influence persisted for centuries, leaving an enduring legacy as a symbol of joy, protection, and spiritual fortitude in the rich tapestry of Egyptian beliefs and culture. 🏠🛡️🎶

We won’t ever get tired of seeing the sunset over the Nile, and we’re sure you won’t either.

The view from the deck isn’t always the Nile but sometimes the quiet landscape of rural Egypt slowly passing by.

Tugboat-our little helper when the wind doesn’t blow our way.

Can you guess what these are? Pharaohs would eat these for desert, and drink their juice infused in wine and beer. The trees were featured in gardens and the fruits were left as offerings at tombs and temples.

When the sun is starting its slow descent in the sky a good book, a cup of tea, and the soft sway of the water while in our salon is a wonderfully peaceful way to pass the afternoon.

Agriculture on the Nile involves the farmers irrigating their fields by flooding them at certain intervals. Here they can grow vegetables and herbs which we often use in our kitchen.

The art of nature, perfectly imperfect. The wind creating strokes like a paintbrush across the desert dunes.

Watching the sunset in a hammock, we dare you to think of a more perfect way to end the day.

Swimming in the Nile is perfectly safe in the right areas. We often stop along the sail so that you can take a dip in one of the most famous rivers in the world.

Hieroglyphs, the written language of the ancient Egyptians, was an unbreakable code until the Rosetta Stone shone light on the mysterious language. Though this pictorial language is still as enigmatic as ever to the average person. Any ideas what this particular phrase might mean?
