Dahabiya cruising beats regular cruise ships by miles
The best part of this trip was how different the Dahabiya felt from a standard cruise . No giant dining halls , no loud announcements — just a quiet , smooth sail along the Nile . You could actually hear the birds in the morning . Our cabin had a huge window with river views , and the onboard food was honestly better than we expected — especially the fresh-baked bread . Cairo was intense in the best way . Loved the Pyramids of Giza , of course , but I also enjoyed the Mosque of Muhammad Ali — beautiful architecture and incredible city views .

9 days of pure Egyptian adventure and floating relaxation
Who knew a boat that small could feel so luxurious ? The Dahabiya was spotless , the service top-tier , and the atmosphere incredibly peaceful . In Cairo , the mix of Christian , Islamic , and ancient Egyptian history kept us fascinated . We even had time to walk the Khan El Khalili bazaar and haggle like locals . On the cruise , we visited temples that weren’t overrun with tourists , which felt rare and special . The crew even arranged a small bonfire on the riverbank one night — stars overhead , sand underfoot , and Egyptian music playing . 🐪✨
Lana Sue Perkins –
Temples , tombs , and timeless scenery — this trip had it all
I went solo on this tour and felt totally safe and looked after the whole time . Cairo’s history is incredible — I learned so much at the Egyptian Museum and loved wandering through Coptic Cairo . Then came the cruise , and it was a total change of pace . We had a tiny group , which made it super friendly . We explored Kom Ombo and Philae Temple , and the guide knew all the best photo spots . The sunsets from the deck of the boat ? Unreal . I’ll be bragging about this one for a while
Cletus Barlow –
Sailing past ancient sites in quiet luxury
We’re not the kind of folks who usually do guided tours , but this one won us over . The Cairo part was well-paced — pyramids , markets , museums — and always someone around to answer questions without being overbearing . The Dahabiya cruise , though , that’s what I’ll remember most . No engines , just sails and silence , except the occasional call to prayer in the distance . The rooms on board were beautiful and way roomier than I expected . At night , we’d sit out on deck , wrapped in blankets , watching the Nile roll by . Peaceful doesn’t begin to cover it .
Ellie Mae Griggs –
When ancient Egypt meets five-star floating comfort
There’s something surreal about sipping a fresh mango juice while staring at a 4 , 000-year-old temple . That’s what this trip offers . Cairo itself is sensory overload in the best way — horns honking , sellers shouting , spices everywhere . But then you get on the Dahabiya and everything slows down . We cruised past banana groves and watched fishermen in wooden boats . At night , the stars were unreal . I loved the chance to learn about Egyptian mythology from our guide while actually standing inside temples . The attention to detail throughout the trip really stood out .
Bo Wallace –
Ancient ruins by day , gourmet meals by night
This trip was a feast for the senses . Every day , we explored somewhere new — Karnak Temple was my favorite , with its towering columns and intricate carvings . And then we’d return to our elegant Dahabiya , where the chef cooked up magic in the tiny kitchen . I still dream about that spicy lentil soup . I was impressed by how seamlessly everything flowed — from flights between cities to the gentle sailings on the Nile . This wasn’t a rushed group tour — it was slow , thoughtful travel , and I appreciated that . 😊
Mary Lou Tindle –
Luxury and culture wrapped into an unforgettable Egyptian journey
From the first moment in Cairo to the final sunset on the Nile , everything about this trip felt special . We stayed in a boutique hotel with views of the pyramids — I could see them from my bed . The guides really knew their history , but they also told funny stories that kept us engaged . The Dahabiya part was like being in an Agatha Christie novel ( minus the murder ) — elegant , quiet , and classic . We even got to visit a Nubian village and drink hibiscus tea with a local family . Felt so personal .
Hank Rayburn –
Cairo’s history and Nile magic packed in one amazing ride
We joined the 9 day Cairo and Dahabiya Nile Cruise right after New Year’s , and the timing was perfect . The weather was mild , which made it easy to explore all the temples and tombs without melting under the sun . What blew me away was how relaxing the cruise portion was compared to bustling Cairo . The open-air rooftop on the Dahabiya was my favorite hangout — coffee in the morning while watching the riverbanks roll by was pure bliss . I also really enjoyed visiting the Valley of the Kings . Seeing Tutankhamun’s tomb in person was like stepping into a history book .

Floating in style down the Nile on a luxury Dahabiya
This wasn’t just a cruise — it was a floating dream . The Dahabiya had this old-world charm , with polished wood and soft linens , but it also had Wi-Fi and great AC ( thank goodness ) . I absolutely loved how few people were on board — it made the experience feel super personal . We stopped at places no big boat could reach , like this little island village where kids waved at us from the shore . Back in Cairo , the energy was wild — the traffic , the sounds , the smells — it felt alive in every sense . The Egyptian Museum was a treasure trove and totally worth the time .
Billy Joe Whitaker –
The combination of Cairo’s buzz and the Dahabiya cruise calm made this a perfect blend of adventure and elegance . I started in the heart of Cairo , exploring ancient mosques and standing beneath the Great Pyramid in Giza — something I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid . The private guide added so much insight , and I never felt rushed . Then came the Dahabiya part , and wow , what a contrast . Peaceful sailing on the Nile , just a few cabins on board , and no loudspeakers or crowds — just wind , water , and wonders . The stop at Edfu Temple felt like a scene from a movie , and walking through Luxor Temple at night gave me chills . The ship’s staff were warm and attentive , and the meals onboard were surprisingly gourmet . You could feel the care in every detail .
