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.
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.
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 .

Food
on board:
Our onboard chef is expert at preparing wholesome, appetizing Egyptian
and international cuisines, while barbeques and picnics will be organized
on the riverbanks and islands in the Nile. Your meals (starting with
lunch at embarkation and ending with breakfast at disembarkation) are
all inclusive, along with tea, coffee and soft drinks as well as a daily
high tea. Passengers are, however, invited to bring their own alcoholic
beverages - none are available onboard due to licensing restrictions
- but we'll supply the ice and the mixers at no additional charge.
Start
Weekly on Saturday:
The program starts every Saturday in either Luxor or Aswan, and the
journey lasts seven nights.

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 !
A
skilled river captain is on board at all times . A guide is at your
disposal to plan your itinerary and escort you through the sites you
choose to visit. The crew has completely separate quarters, to ensure
your privacy.

PREFACE
TO THE SECOND EDITION
FIRST
published in 1877, this book has been out of print for several years.
I have therefore very gladly revised it for a new and cheaper edition.
In so revising it, I have corrected some of the historical notes by
the light of later discoveries; but I have left the narrative untouched.
Of the political changes which have come over the land of Egypt since
that narrative was written, I have taken no note; and because I in no
sense offer myself as a guide to others, I say nothing of the altered
conditions under which most Nile travellers now perform the trip. All
these things will be more satisfactorily, and more practically, learned
from the pages of Baedeker and Murray.

...................................But
the difficulties were all over now, and everything was settled ; though
not in the way we had at first intended. For in place of a small boat,
we had secured one of the largest on the river ; and instead of going
alone, we had decided to throw in our lot with that of three other travellers.
One of these three was already known to the Writer. The other two, friends
of the first, were on their way out from Europe, and were not expected
in Cairo for another week. We knew nothing of them but their names.
Meanwhile
L. and the Writer, assuming sole possession of the dahabeeyah, were
about to start ten days in advance ; it being their intention to push
on as far as Rhoda (the ultimate point then reached by the Nile railway),
and there to await the arrival of the rest of the party. Now Rhoda (more
correctly Roda) is just one hundred and eighty miles south of Cairo
; and we calculated upon seeing the Sakkârah pyramids, the Turra
quarries, the tombs of Beni Hassan, and the famous grotto of the Colossus
on the Sledge, before our fellow-travellers should be due.
