Many
visitors come to Egypt to fulfill their dream of sailing the Nile on
board a private boat.
These Four Dahabbiya allow you to experience the Nile 's romance in
an intimate, privileged setting. These dahabiyas take you back in time
to a gentler, more gracious era.
On
the Nile in Royal Style Feluccas or Dahabiyas are the traditional
sailing vessel of much of the Mediterranean world, and the traditional
Nile felucca, or Dahabia, was the mainstay of travel in ancient Egypt.
With
shallow drafts, sails, and oars, feluccas could navigate not only the
great river, but the maze of canals threading through its banks, with
or without wind, reaching every part of the kingdom.
Dahabbiyas
/ Feluccas long ago transcended their role as humble transports. They
held the ancient empire together, carrying troops, decrees, and the
very mystery of the pharaoh.
Private
docking areas:
Your Dahabia will moor on privately owned areas of the riverbank at
Luxor and Aswan, you will avoid the over crowded docking area of the
regular large size cruises.
In your felucca docking are you will be welcomed with the sight of flowers
and gardens that are frequented by exotic birds. These gardens provide
our ships with flowers and organically grown vegetables and herbs.
Along the way, we moor on un-inhabited Nile islands, whose virgin landscapes
have hardly changed throughout millennia. Wandering the gardens and
Nile islands is an idyllic pastime, and the perfect compliment to your
visits to Egypt 's matchless monuments.
The Dahabbiyas are beautifully crafted wooden ships, outfitted in colonial
style with oriental and Egyptian touches. The interiors boast period
furnishing, and each cabin has its own distinct style and interior .
The
Cabins:
Each boat has six delightfully appointed private cabins measuring 5.75
meters x 2.50 meters . The cabins (maximum occupancy two persons) have
private bathrooms of 1.25 meters x 2.50 meters with a wc, wash basin,
shower and hairdryer. Some cabins offer two single beds and others have
a double. Each Dahabia comfortably accommodates twelve passengers sharing
in doubles . Yet of course in a lot of cases we have smaller parties
that prefer to charter the boat for four, five or six guests only .
The
cabins are named them in keeping with the ship's theme. For example,
on the Zahra ('flower') you will find the 'white lotus' cabin; on the
Nesma ('breeze') you have 'the zephyr', each with tasteful, individualized
embellishments.
The
cabins are located towards the front of the boat on the starboard
and port sides, separated by a central corridor. The communal lounge
covers the width of the boat, and is a lovely setting for enjoying meals.
Engines
will only be used if wind is insufficient to sail, but generators are
available to provide electricity.
From
the bow, two staircases lead to the partially shaded top deck. Here,
guests can sunbathe or just enjoy the ride and spectacular views from
comfortable rattan deck chairs, or in oriental seating areas of colorful
cushions and carpets. Meals will also be served on the top deck, a great
place for cocktails and stargazing
Start
Weekly on Saturday:
The program starts every Saturday in either Luxor or Aswan, and the
journey lasts seven nights.
The
trip includes visits to sites in ancient Thebes (the Valley's of the
Kings and Queens), the Luxor and Karnak temples, as well as Edfu, Kom
Ombo and Philae. Entrance fees for the monuments are all inclusive.
In
addition to these historical sites, guests will visit less frequented
monuments and enjoy field excursions to villages and open countryside.
In short, we promise our guests a unique, tranquil journey on sailboats
fit for a king or a Pharaoh !
