WHAT IS A DAHABIYA?

A Dahabiya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat with modern facilities, the perfect place to relax and watch the Nile landscape gliding by. It varies in size from 3 to 12 cabins which makes it ideal for small groups and family vacations.

One of the advantages of the dahabiya is that it can anchor at any location along the Nile banks.

This gives more possibilities for site visits, activities, and experiences along the Nile compared to the regular Nile Cruises which are limited to only 2-3 stops along the same sailing route.

DAHABIYA FACILITIES:

  • Air-condition cabins
  • Drinks included, except alcohol
  • Room cleaning service
  • internet access, limited
  • Extra bed option for suites , on request
  • Several boats are used by Dahabiya Nile Sailing, they are similar and there are minimal differences in their facilities
