It successfully embodies the authentic aesthetic of a local Nile boat while offering the unparalleled comfort and amenity of a luxurious cruise. To secure your voyage on this magnificent sailing vessel, we invite you to book your trip through our platform, Cruise Era. This incredible 8-day Nile adventure aboard the stunning Eyaru Dahabiya promises to be a life-changing exploration of Egypt’s most precious historical treasures.
A Vessel Rooted in Ancient Egyptian Reverence
Since the very dawn of Ancient Egyptian civilization, boats have held profound reverence, viewed not merely as modes of transport for royalty and high officials, but as sacred vessels—intended to carry departed souls through the journey to the afterlife, a celestial realm described as a fertile heaven filled with endless bounty, magnificent splendors, and plentiful harvests. This deep, symbolic significance of transport and journey is precisely what we aim to capture through Eyaru’s voyage from Aswan to Luxor, or the reverse. Choosing a Dahabiya, or traditional Egyptian sailboat, allows you to follow the same ancient routes in serene, sailing tranquility.
Unique Design and Handcrafted Luxury
The designer of this exceptional Dahabiya ensured that each of the guest spaces is truly unique, each with its own distinctive aesthetic—from the color schemes of the cabins to the selection of fine textiles—yet all are intrinsically connected to the profound meaning of the word “Eyaru.” Papyrus plants, lotus flowers, towering palms, and graceful banana trees are subtly integrated into the room design, appearing in the intricate inscriptions behind the beds, on the sumptuous bedspread coverings, and in the embroidered pillows. These motifs beautifully represent ancient Egyptian culture and the tranquil, fertile landscape of Southern Egypt. The Eyaru Dahabiya is a triumph of traditional craftsmanship, created entirely by hand with a commitment to sustainability—it contains absolutely no plastic components. This dedication to authentic, natural materials elevates the experience far above a standard Nile river cruise.

Culinary Excellence and Onboard Amenities
The culinary facilities onboard the magnificent Eyaru Dahabiya are equally impressive. The kitchen stretches 20 meters long, built entirely of high-grade stainless steel, and is fully functional for preparing the daily meals, including a dedicated bakery section. Dedicated areas are also provided for the crew, ensuring their comfort, including a comfortable living room. The vessel is efficiently powered by a well-equipped 10-square-meter motor room, featuring two generators, two water pumps, a multistage filter, specialized lighting, water chlorination, and a chiller.
The Distinctive Sundeck:
The most distinguishing feature of the Eyaru is the sprawling sundeck, offering a serene sanctuary under the Egyptian sky.
- Sundeck Area: 210 square meters of elegant space.
- Flexibility: On bright, sunny days and during the mild winter months, the deck might be completely uncovered or partially exposed via an overhead canopy.
- Comfort: The sundeck is equipped with four large heaters, which utilize heat radiated from the ceramic layer beneath the deck’s surface, ensuring comfort even on cool evenings.
- Seating: There are significantly more sofas, chaise lounges, and comfortable future-styled furnishings than guests, guaranteeing a private space for everyone onboard this exclusive Dahabiya cruise.
Bar and Restaurant Areas:
The onboard restaurant and bar areas are utilized to serve all three daily meals—breakfast, lunch, and supper—and are open seven days a week. Like the sundeck, this area can be partially or completely exposed from the top, allowing guests to dine under the stars or the warm daytime sun. Guests have the unique option of participating in live culinary demonstrations while on holiday. Cooking together with real-time, authentic Egyptian recipes is an enjoyable and highly memorable activity. We are proud to provide authentic Egyptian food, ensuring you experience the true, rich flavors of the region. Only the highest-quality ingredients are used in all meals and beverages. Every day, the in-house chef provides a sneak preview of the day’s special menu.
