The River Nile

Sailboats were common in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century as a way for the royal family and elite travelers to cruise the Nile in style.  Make your way from temple to temple at a leisurely pace, enjoying the river breezes and absorbing the energy of this sacred waterway.  The dahabeyas have beautifully appointed cabins and suites with modern in-room bathrooms.  Take in the beauty of this stunning landscape from the ship’s beautiful wooden decks and enjoy fine Egyptian gastronomy or sip traditional mint tea in privacy and comfort.
