Sail Like Royalty Through the Heart of Ancient Egypt

Location: Cairo, Luxor, Nile River & Aswan
Experience Level: Ideal for cultural explorers, luxury seekers & slow travel lovers

 

Trip Highlights

Journey back in time on a Dahabeya—the elegant sailing vessel once favored by aristocrats and royals. This exclusive 10-day tour combines the splendor of Cairo’s ancient wonders with the slow, luxurious rhythm of a 5-night cruise along the Nile.

​

Marvel at the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the treasures of Cairo before flying to Luxor. From there, glide gently along the river on your private Dahabeya, visiting Dendera, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and the temples of Aswan. With fewer passengers, personalized service, and stops at villages untouched by mass tourism, this is Egypt at its most authentic and intimate.

​

As golden sunsets unfold from the deck, and your private chef serves exquisite meals, you’ll discover why the Dahabeya remains the timeless choice for those who want to experience Egypt with style, grace, and depth.
