Luxor West Bank - Dahabeya Nile Cruises:
Dahabeya 1 and 2
Authentic dahabeyas (from the Arabic word for the "golden one") were and are built from wood and have no motors. They have to be light in order to be able to sail. The elegant timber construction limits the number of passengers what makes that kind of travelling relatively expensive but it guarantees unique and unforgettable holiday experiences: The dahabeya glides silently along the banks of the River Nile, the water sloshes softly at the bow, you can see rare birds, listen to the sounds of the nature, open yourself to the passing scenery, and meet people who live from and with the Nile while you enjoy family environment and excellent food aboard. What else could be more restful?
Dates of departure:
- any time, book in just 10 days before
- Minimum number of pax: 2
Dahabeya 1 with 8 cabins:
