Pickup offered

Lady Bastet is a traditional Nile sandal—smaller and more agile than a dahabiya—offering an intimate, serene cruising experience. Once used for transporting goods, these restored vessels now blend heritage with modern luxury. Measuring 16 meters long, Lady Bastet accommodates up to 8 guests in beautifully appointed cabins, including a spacious family suite, twin cabins, and single cabins—each with oriental décor, ensuite bathrooms, and panoramic windows. The sun deck is the heart of the boat, featuring Egyptian-style seating, a glass-enclosed dining area, and front and rear lounging spaces ideal for yoga, meditation, or simply watching Nile life drift by. With thoughtful design, authentic character, and personalized service, Lady Bastet offers a unique and tranquil way to explore Egypt's rich culture and riverfront beauty.
