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.
The Merit Luxury Dahabiyas 3-night/4-day cruise tour offers unique routes and experiences you won’t find on larger ships.
