The overall style is defined by Luxury, Culture, and Education.

The Abundance Dahabiya: A Sailing Masterpiece

The Dahabiya, the actual sailing vessel for the Abundance Dahabiya Nile Cruise, is a stunning colonial-style boat inspired by actual late 18th and early 19th-century Dahabiyas. This typical two-masted sailing sailboat boasts a grand, shaded sun deck of $200\,\text{m}^2$ which serves as the vessel’s focal point—the ideal spot to unwind in a wooden deck chair and savor the passing scenery.

Below deck, the layout is designed for comfort and elegance:

  • Cabins: Four spacious cabins, each approximately $12\,\text{m}^2$, feature twin beds, two windows, a wardrobe, and a private bathroom with a shower and small tub.
  • Suite: One exceptional suite, spanning $22\,\text{m}^2$, offers a private balcony, two windows on each side, glass doors across the width, a refrigerator, and a kettle. Its $4.5\,\text{m}^2$ private bathroom includes a shower, small tub, and a hairdryer.
  • Public Areas: There is a comfortable sitting area and a cozy salon with a small library focused on the Nile and Egypt. It’s the perfect place to enjoy Turkish coffee, share experiences, read, or play a game of backgammon.

Crucially, the traditional sailing ship operates without an engine or generator—instead, it’s drawn by a tugboat on a $40\,\text{m}$ rope, ensuring a quiet, authentic sailing experience.
