DAHABIYA NILE SAILING LIKE NEVER BEFORE





WHAT IS A DAHABIYA?

A Dahabiya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat with modern facilities, the
perfect place to relax and watch the Nile landscape gliding by. It varies in
size from 3 to 12 cabins which makes it ideal for small groups and family
vacations.

One of the advantages of the dahabiya is that it can anchor at any location
along the Nile banks. This gives more possibilities for site visits, activities,
and experiences along the Nile compared to the regular Nile Cruises which are
limited to only 2-3 stops along the same sailing route.





OUR DAHABIYAS

Use of boats not just for transporting goods but also for the pleasures of
traveling along the Nile goes back to the time of the pharaohs. The wooden
sailing boats known as a Dahabiya, from the Arabic word for gold, “dahab”, are
the most beautiful boats sailing on the Nile and the most authentic way to
experience the river and its sights.

We are delighted to introduce our new dahabiya “Safiya”. 
“Safiya” includes solar panels to generate electricity, solar heaters to heat
the water, and LED lights, all with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint.
There is a fire alarm and fire fighting system, fan, air-conditioning, safe,
laundry services, wifi, first aid kits, and lifeboat jackets, all designed to
provide optimal comfort and safety for our guests.

HISTORY & MONUMENTS

Dahabiya experienced a resurgence in popularity among those who wished to enjoy
Egypt at a leisurely pace, to drink in the landscapes, and see the monuments and
villages on the riverbanks along the Nile Valley. These stops unique to dahabiya
sailing include the significant archeological sites of El Kab and Gebel El
Silsila, and Bisaw and other communities which are your opportunity to meet
local people and experience village life. The small number of guests on a
dahabiya means more personalised visits to the ancient sites, and your guide is
available to answer your questions throughout the tour.





CULTURAL EXPERIENCES

Experience the life of typical villages in Egypt: see the farming, ride a
donkey, fish with local fishermen, and bake fresh bread. Our guests say that
what makes our tours memorable for them is not only exploring the ancient
monuments and museums and the centuries-old art but also meeting the people.  
Local food experiences include:
Bisaw Island farm tour and enjoying food in a local home, including sunbread.
Going fishing on small boats with the locals.
Cooking class on the boat.






ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE

Our tours include historic sites and visits to communities not included by other
companies, and include desert and valley environments. Our guides have knowledge
of local plants and animals. Bird watching is a tour option. This is your
opportunity to see and experience authentic Egypt, not just tick off the places
usually featured on social media.





SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS

Dahabiya Nile Sailing is working towards improved sustainability of our boats
and tours. We minimize the use of plastic and diesel whenever possible.There are
solar panels to reduce diesel consumption on most of the boats.Locally homemade
products are featured in the interior design. Activities are 100% operated by
local people from the towns we visit on the tour, so income from the tours goes
to the locals.We are working towards accreditation with Travelife
