Queen of the nile
12 Days / 11 Nights
We are taking the phrase “Dive into history” to a whole new level. Dahabiya Nile Cruise is a perfect demonstration for the old-schoolers, the people who want to literally explore history the ancient way. We start our journey by visiting Cairo’s most famous landmark or more precisely a wonder of the world, The Pyramids of Giza. We then fly to Aswan to continue our trip to the Dahabiya Nile Cruise, a ship that was used in the past to take the elite for an exploration of the Nile Valley. We are basically taking you to the past to experience a different but exquisite type of sailing to witness ancient temples and learn more about the chronicles of historical sites that can’t be reached in a usual Nile Cruise. Dahabiya is your chance to explore a lot more, to explore everything from Luxor all the way to Aswan!
