The Best Dahabiya Nile Cruise with Travme Tours offers a serene and authentic way to explore Egypt’s ancient wonders from the river. Unlike larger cruise ships, a dahabiya is a traditional, wind-powered sailing vessel that moves quietly along the Nile, bringing you closer to local life, lesser-visited archaeological sites, and scenic riverbank villages. With personalized service, small group comfort, full-board accommodation onboard, private guided tours to exceptional landmarks, and private deluxe transfers, this journey blends culture, beauty, and luxury at a relaxed pace — perfect for travelers seeking an unforgettable Nile experience away from the crowds.
Your dahabiya adventure begins with a private transfer from Luxor to Esna, where you board your elegant traditional sailing vessel after a warm welcome drink and settle into your cabin.
Enjoy lunch and dinner on deck as the dahabiya sails south, skimming past palm-lined villages and the peaceful banks of the Nile, with sunset views that define the relaxed pace of a classic dahabiya cruise.
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
After breakfast, disembark to explore El Kab, once the capital of Upper Egypt, with its fascinating rock-cut tombs and ancient city walls.
Continue sailing to Edfu, where you visit the grand Temple of Horus — a remarkable temple renowned for its splendid architecture and mythological carvings.
Return to the dahabiya for lunch and enjoy serene sailing under open sails — one of the hallmarks of the best dahabiya Nile cruise experience.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
