You will avoid the crowd because of the small number of cabins
a Dahabiya Nile Cruise is a passenger boat with a shallow bottom and two or more boat-shaped sails. Boats have been operating in some capacity for thousands of years, as far back as the 1870s, and were common for travelers up and down the Nile
The beating heart of Dahbiya is the half-shaded sunroom, complete with chairs, diwan, sunbed and dining table. This is a great place to observe daily life along the river.
The Dahabiya Nile Cruise is full of surprises, like the chance to relax in a high chair while reading or watching the kids play. There is very little accommodation, mostly one or two suites in 5-8 rooms available on the ship. Each room is furnished with authentic oriental touches. A double bathroom is provided. This includes individual air conditioning and temperature control.
