Both experiences will allow you to enjoy the banks of the Nile River on a multi-night experience.

Dahabiya boats offer a unique blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. These elegant vessels, inspired by the golden age of Egyptian travel, boast classic decor and a smaller size that allows for a more personal and immersive experience. Dahabiya boats often rely on a combination of engines and sails, providing passengers with the unique opportunity to experience the romantic allure of sailing on the Nile, especially during calm stretches.

We also work with all of the major luxury river cruise companies that operate on the Nile, such as Viking, Uniworld, Avalon, and many more. These cruises typically feature spacious and sumptuously furnished cabins, gourmet dining experiences, and world-class amenities, such as spas, pools, and live entertainment.

Luxury river cruises operate larger vessels with more extensive facilities. Unlike the intimate setting of Dahabiya boats, luxury river cruises can accommodate a higher number of passengers, often including entertainment options, guided shore excursions to major historical sites, and a variety of facilities like fitness centers and lounges. The choice between Dahabiya boats and luxury river cruises depends on whether travelers seek a more intimate, traditional experience or a modern, opulent journey with extensive amenities and entertainment.
