Dahabiya

Nile

Cruise

WELCOME TO DAHABEYA "ELEPHANTINE" and „PHILAE“!

Our sailing boats are built for the pleasure of those who wish to experience this magical river in the most original and enjoyable way possible. The word “Dahabiya” means “the golden boat”.

The Dahabiya is a 2-masted boat that sails with the wind and is sometimes pulled by a tugboat when there is no wind. It has no engines, except for a generator that produces electricity.

You will visit many unforgettable places along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, places that are only accessible by the small Dahabiyas. You will not only visit the amazing attractions between Luxor and Aswan, but also get to know the real daily life in the villages and the local markets.
