This private Dahabiya Nile Cruise offers a luxurious and authentic way to experience Egypt’s ancient wonders. Unlike large ships, your Dahabiya provides exclusive access to hidden gems such as El Kab Village and Gebel el-Silsila, where few visitors go. With only a few cabins, you’ll enjoy personalized service, fine dining, and the tranquil rhythm of the Nile. Each day combines guided exploration of world-famous temples — including Karnak, Hatshepsut, Kom Ombo, and Philae — with time for relaxation on deck as the desert sun paints the sky. Every meal is freshly prepared by your private chef, and evenings bring candlelit dinners under the stars. This voyage captures the romance, serenity, and history of the Nile, creating memories that last a lifetime.
