We are delighted to share our new Dahabiya Nile Sailing video.

Dahabiya sailing boats have for several centuries been the choice of travellers who wanted to see the Nile in an intimate way, exploring the ancient sites and experiencing life along the banks, enjoying being on the water instead of on roads between destinations.

If you are looking for a luxurious way of travel, with more time to enjoy the environment between stops and without the feeling of being another tourist in the crowds, a Dahabiya Nile Sailing tour is the ideal way to tour between Luxor and Aswan (and in the opposite direction).

Our guides and crew ensure you will be comfortable and can relax, enjoying delicious food and the freedom of the deck for yoga, reading, or watching life along the Nile between our visits to the ancient tombs and temples and meeting local communities.

We believe tourism isn’t just about ticking off a bucket list or seeing the sights, we believe it is a way to discover the country and appreciate its varied environments and cultures.

We aim to inspire others by example to practice sustainability. We believe in providing travel experiences that protect the environment and encourage cultural exchange. Whenever possible we choose ethical sourcing and support the economies of local communities, contributing to a more equitable and sustainable future in Egypt. Our local guides and hosts in homes are ambassadors of a more authentic, culturally immersive and connected way of travel.

Life takes on a different pace when you tour on our dahabiya, Safiya I and Safiya II. Instead of checking in and out, packing and unpacking at hotels in each destination, you are immersed in nature and relaxation between visits to the historic sites, communities, and activities such as kayaking on or swimming in the Nile.
