The Dahabiya Advantage: Uncharted Nile Exploration

Twin-masted dahabiyas were the preferred mode of Nile transport for ‘grand tourists’ up to 100 years ago, and they still offer a wonderful opportunity to get off the beaten track in Egypt. The Akhnaton Dahabiya revives this tradition, offering both four and seven-night luxury sailing holidays. The vessel’s intimate size and shallow draft allow it to moor along isolated riverbanks and explore lesser-known destinations, providing a deep, personal connection to the Nile Valley’s natural beauty and ancient history. This is the ultimate way to appreciate the tranquility and splendor of the river.
