Dahabiya cruises offer a different way to experience the Nile for tourists who want to slow down and really take in the sights. These smaller traditional sailing boats let you enjoy the river at a gentle pace without the crowds of larger ships and the intimidating feeling that can come with big cruises. Below are our top Dahabiya cruises in Egypt for a quieter, more personal way to explore Egypt.

Merit Luxury Dahabiyas Cruise

The Merit Luxury Dahabiyas 3-night/4-day cruise tour offers unique routes and experiences you won’t find on larger ships. Guests can enjoy dinner on Al-Ramadi Island, followed by a live Rababa Egyptian show, spend the night surrounded by nature, and meet locals to experience life along the river. Another highlight is Hor Diab Island, where travelers can swim in some of the clearest parts of the Nile while enjoying the beautiful weather.
