Traditional Dahabiya
Instead of being in a massive floating mass ferried from site to site and completely disconnected from the surroundings of the Nile, an alternative is a traditional sailing boat known as a dahabiya.
A cruise down the Nile on a Dahabiya Nile Cruise is the most exclusive and luxurious way to experience the river. These boats, known as Dahabeyas in Arabic, recall a past era of Egyptian tourism when the elite of Europe used similar vessels to explore the Nile Valley. So, take the classic way to see the Nile and sail into the past. Enjoy a tranquil sailing, explore unique temples and tombs not on your average Nile cruise route, see the ancient monuments without the crowds, and visit picturesque local villages and idyllic islands.
Dahabiyas feature two large sails, one on the bow and one at the stern. These boats have no engines just like back in the day and the direction is controlled by roles on pulleys to maneuver a giant wooden rudder.
While tug boats are used to keep the ship moving when winds aren’t favourable, what hasn’t changed is the charm, atmosphere, service, and luxury that the Dahabiya has always been for.
There’s a beautiful open air upper deck with sun loungers, chairs, tables, and a hammock as the ship cruises past riverside villages and ancient site along the Nile. Below, you have elegantly furnished cabins, a cosy salon with a library that has more books on Ancient Egypt than you’ll be able to go through in one cruise.
Why choose the Dahabiya
A Dahabiya Nile cruise offers the romance of the past with modern comfort and convenience. It’s a leisurely way to get between Luxor and Aswan and brings together superb sightseeing, sailing, delicious traditional meals and attentive personal service. A day on board a traditional Dahabiya has many pleasures.
These some of the few reasons, why you should choose Dahabiya over cruise ship.
- Spend more time taking in the majesty of the Nile instead of getting lost inside a large cruise ship.
- Authentic sailing experience aboard a traditional-style ship.
- Maximum of 12 or less fellow travellers that will never feel crowded and everyone will have their own private space.
- Dedicated knowledgeable Egyptologist.
- You won’t be ushered around Ancient Egyptian sites around like Dahabiyayour typical cruise ships where you have to wear wireless headsets or struggle to listen from the back because the group sizes are small.
- Incredible food cooked by the chef on board that is also completely authentic and local.
- Since dahabiyas are smaller, they can moor anywhere along the Nile. This opens many more possibilities when it comes to exploring local villages and sites such as Gebel el Silsila which are inaccessible by large cruise ships.
Which Direction Should I go for our Dahabiya Nile Cruise?
One of the things that really tripped traveler up when they are planning for Egypt Nile Cruise is what is considered to be “upriver” and “downriver”. When you look at the map, up intuitively is north and down is south. Erase that thought because it’s the opposite. A Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan (going south) is considered to be “upriver” and Aswan to Luxor (going north) is “downriver”.
The direction matters when planning your trip primarily because of logistics but there are a few other things to think about that we will detail below.
Luxor to Aswan
Technically, Luxor’s point of departure is in the neighboring city of Esna. For most operators, going upriver always takes longer because you’re going against the flow of the river. Most Nile cruise is 4 nights and 5 days.
Dahabiya Nile cruise tug boat one advantage of going this direction is that the winds are usually more favorable and blowing south which is why there is a higher chance of using the sails for wind power instead of using the tug boat.
Aswan to Luxor
If you’re thinking of going the other direction, the itinerary for the most part will be the same. Since you’ll also be going with the direction of the river, you’ll be moving a lot faster which is why Nile cruises from Aswan to Luxor are usually fewer days so this is 3 nights and 4 days.
If you want more time on the Dahabiya, think about going from Luxor to Aswan but if it makes sense to start from the south and move your way back up to Cairo, start from Aswan. There’s honestly no right or wrong way to do it.
Important Note: you can charter your Dahabiya for any number of nights you want.
Meeting Point in Esna
If you start your Nile Cruise from Luxor, most of the Dahabiyas start from Esna City South of Luxor(one hour drive)
Upon arrival at Luxor Airport,your representative will meet& assist you then you will visit Karnak and Luxor Temple with your guide.after the tour you will transfer to your hootel in Luxor for overnight.
Second day,checking out after breakfast then your tour guide will transfer you to visit the West Bank of Luxor (Valley of the kings,Hatshipsut Temple and Memnon statue)Then Transfer from Luxor to Esna. About 1 hour drive,check in to the Dahabiya Cruise
Some itineraries include visit Esna Temple (aka Temple of Khnum) and the local markets. You’ll quite enjoy Temple of Khnum for one that’s small, incredibly well-preserved, and distinctively several stories underground from modern-day street level.
TIP: When preparing your luggage and backpacks in Luxor, make sure you have what you need for your walk around Esna because everything else will be loaded on the Dahabiya.
Important Note: Luxor: If you haven’t been to Luxor before, we suggest you arrive a day early so you can
visit the highlights of this city before checking in to the Dahabiya. Contact Egypt Key Tours for customized tours of Luxor sights, such as the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the ancient workmen’s village, and Luxor and Karnak Temples.
During your exploration of Esna, the crew will move everything onto the Dahabiya so there’s nothing to worry about once you arrive back at the wharf.
A special touch of hospitality that you love is that almost every time you board the boat, they’ll have a refreshing beverage ready for you.
TIP: The boarding of the ship will happen pretty quickly so if you’d like to take photos of the boat, make sure you get in front of the group so you can get your shots in since they’ll be waiting for everyone to get together on deck to do initial crew introductions.
You’ll take off your shoes and put everything in a straw basket and at this point you’ll organically say hello to your fellow passengers if you haven’t done that already.
No shoes are allowed on the ship so be prepared to walk bare feet or with socks. If you’re curious, we didn’t see anyone use slippers or flip flops on board.
Dahabiya boarding process introductions after your Egyptologist does a quick introduction of your Dahabiya, everyone will be lead to the lower deck to the salon/library/dining room where all of your bags have been moved to. They’ll also tell you what time the group should meet back upstairs for lunch.
Important Note: there was no process for room assignments unless you booked a suite. If you want to choose you have to be the first onboard the Dahabiya.
TIP: You can ask your Egyptologist for a specific type of room but in all likelihood you’ll need to think ahead of time and be one of the first ones to grab a room. There’s no real difference between the cabins but if you have a specific preference of twin vs. double bed, act fast!
Once you’ve secured your room and grabbed the key that’s sitting in the keyhole, you’ll go back out to the salon to move your bags in.
Until lunch, you’ll have free time to get settled in and organized. When ready, everyone will slowly make their way to the top deck to chat with others or find your own corner to chill.
Meals
The food is amazing on the Dahabiya. With your dedicated chef, you’ll be treated with what will seem like an endless amount of food.All of the food cooked is freshly made and authentically Egyptian. You’ll also be able to try a wide variety of dishes on your cruise.
If you have any dietary restrictions, they have no issues with making something special for you or to tailor the menu to include more of what you’re able to eat.
The dining arrangements on the Dahabiya are family-style which means that everyone will sit around a long table and you’ll share the dishes with the other passengers.There is usually enough food for everyone and even with a long table, all the dishes are accessible because they have the same dishes spread between both ends of the table.
TIP: Here are a couple of meal tips that will really help you make the most of your meals
- There’s no fixed seating around the table despite it initially feeling like you had to sit at the exact same spot on your first meal. This’ll occur organically but feel free to move around the table meal to meal so you get to talk to everyone or sit closer to the company you enjoy more than others.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for extras of any dishes if they run out. The chef usually has extras of dishes in the kitchen or can whip it up quickly. Don’t be shy!
- Order the drinks you want. They don’t always come around to take your order so if you’d like to have coffee, a fresh fruit drink, pop, or tea, just ask.
- You can order drinks outside of meal time and it’s something you definitely take advantage enough of. Fresh fruit juices are perfect in the afternoon when sailing.
- Lastly, the timing of these meals will vary to day depending on the day’s itinerary but all of them will be roughly be around these times. The most variable will be afternoon tea depending on how long the afternoon excursion is. Sometimes it’ll be before the excursion and sometimes it’ll be after.
- Breakfast – 8AM
- Lunch – 1PM
- Dinner – 7PM
- Breakfast
Of all the meals, this one will be the most consistent but will also come with a few surprises.
Every morning, you’ll have bread, jams, yogurt, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, hardboiled eggs, milk, instant coffee, and tea.What changes day to day are the fresh juices that are blended and hot dishes that vary from Egyptian beans, scrambled eggs, omelets, and crepes.
TIP: If you’d like to have Turkish coffee, make sure to order it.
Lunch
Meal of the day because the weather is great and you’re usually pretty hungry at this point especially if there was a morning excursion.
Dinner
By the time dinner comes around, the sun will have set, the ship’s power generators will be on, and the temperatures will have dropped as well.Dinner will always start with hot soup and from there you’ll have the chef’s selection of dishes that will consist of Egyptian tajin (stew/casserole in clay pot), salad, rice, pita, meat dish. You’ll finish with a pastry dessert.
TIP: While certainly not mandatory, we noticed that most passengers wore nicer clothes at dinner. There’s no requirement for this but this is a good chance to wear fresh clothes, long sleeves to stay warm, and stay classy.
Alcohol
Up until this point, everything is included in the price of your Nile cruise. The only thing that isn’t included is alcoholic beverages. There are bottles of wine on board that you can add to your tab. For those looking for beer, they also cans available including the Egyptian beer, Stella.
The alcohol tab is taken care of on the last night of the cruise.
What’s On The Top Deck
The upper deck of a traditional Dahabiya. What you’ll love about it is that it’s broken up into distinct zones and areas to hang out and have conversation.
Dining table – This is a long rectangular table with wooden chairs and soft seat covers where you’ll have all your meals but you can also use it to chat and set up the laptop if you need to.
Beach chairs – sun loungers that you can pull in and out of the shade as needed. Fresh towels are provided every day and you can raise and lower the headrest angle.
Chairs and coffee table – wooden chairs, love seat, and coffee table that is almost straight out of an Egyptian family’s home.
Sit down and sprawl zone – A large circular coffee table on a rug is surrounded by giant cushions and is a great place to lie down and chill.
Hammock – This is a hammock for 1 but surprisingly comfortable and perfect for a nap.
Rear living room chairs and couch – most of the Dahabiyas has chairs and couch surrounding a coffee table that’s a bit more comfortable than the other zone with the coffee table.
Rudder control carpet – When nobody’s manning the rudder, you can sprawl out on the rug.
Chess board table – There’s a chess board on a table here alongside a few other card games if anyone’s up for a match.
The top deck is yours to explore and find your own favourite nook. Since there are only a few passengers on board, it never felt crammed since half of the group preferred to rest in their cabins.
How Your Day will Go
Life on board a Dahabiya Nile cruise is peaceful and idyllic.A day on board a traditional Dahabiya has many pleasures. You can lie in a deck chair, read a book or watch children playing and women doing their washing. Every day there is a chance to walk around villages, visit local markets or explore monuments along the Nile. Meals are freshly prepared on board and served on the sundeck, in the dining room or on a beautiful spot on the banks of the Nile. There’s nothing better than an evening dining under a twinkling night sky by the light of a campfire. You are far away from the fancy-dress parties of the large cruisers. You’ll find no flashing disco’s here, but it might be possible to attend a show by local musicians under the stars.
This is the main things you will do every day.
- Breakfast
- Morning excursion
- Lunch
- Sailing and time to relax
- Afternoon tea and Coffee
- Afternoon excursion
- Clean up and shower
- Dinner
- Chat and hang out
- Bed time
Power
At the end of the day, the Dahabiya is a traditional sail boat and to keep it as authentic as possible and inadvertently also make it an experience where travellers can stay in-the-moment instead of being on their devices all the time.
This is why there is no power on the boat except for mornings and evenings. This is something that might be a surprise to some that don’t read the details but is definitely a big deal for you to be aware of.
The general time that power is on is 7AM-8:30AM and 6PM-10:30PM.
In addition to all the good reasons for not having constant power, the other reason is that diesel generators are loud and they would ruin the ambiance of the Dahabiya.
From experience, this works perfectly fine but you definitely want to do a few small things to make your life easier:
- Have depleted batteries and chargers already plugged in so that when the power kicks on, you’ll be charging right away.
- Bring powerbanks for your phones and other USB-powered devices.
- Laptops are great for charging during non-generator hours so you can leave USB-powered devices plugged in the cabin to charge while you’re away during the day.
TIP: If you have a lot of electronic devices that need charging, make sure you bring enough European plug adapters and chargers.
There are 2 at least outlets in the cabin but if you want to keep things centralized, bring a portable power bar.
Connectivity
As much as you’ll want to stay disconnected during your trip, you’ll inevitably succumb to wanting to share photos on social media, chat with friends and family, begrudgingly check your email, or check the score for your favourite team. Here’s how you can do it aboard the Dahabiya.
Wifi
Some Dahabiyas offer free wifi however the quality of the wifi varies quite considerably and it has to do with where you are along the Nile and where you are within the ship.
The wifi is provided by a hotspot that everyone connects to. Your Egyptologist will plug it in when there is power on the boat and most of the time he has it on the top deck which is why you get the best signal up there. The signal drops to close to nil once you get to your cabin which does get frustrating so if you need wifi, you’ll have to camp out upstairs to use it.
Expect the signal to be generally good enough to check your e-mails, use social media, and browse basic pages but if you want to do any streaming or download large files, you might be out of luck.
TIP: Camp out on the top deck after power has gone off to get the best speeds for wifi because everyone else will be sleeping if you have data-critical needs.
ANOTHER TIP: Sometimes you won’t get signal on the boat but that’s because the hotspot device has run out of power. It doesn’t hurt to ask your guide to check on it to make sure it’s still on.
Cellular Signal
Another way to get access to data is through your phone’s SIM or your very own hotspot device. The type of signal you’ll get throughout the Nile will be 3G or 4G and 1 to 3 bars at most. It will constantly fluctuate along the Nile as you get closer and farther away from towns with cell towers so don’t expect this to be the most reliable but at least you won’t be limited to the range and congestion of the shared wifi hotspot on the boat.
Local SIM cards are quite affordable and you can do this once you arrive in Cairo.
What if I’m a Group of 3?
Travelling in groups of 3 is always not easy one and so a common question is whether you can squeeze 3 people in a cabin or suite.If you’re three adults however, you’ll be out of luck and you’ll have to book two cabins.
What if I’m travelling solo?
All Dahabiyas of standard rates for cabins are for double occupancy. Solo occupancy rates are going to be higher and this is par for the course in the industry. The prices aren’t quite double but it is a significant hike.
Do children under 12 get a discount?
This policy does vary between companies but generally, kids aged 1 to 4 are free if they’re sharing a cabin with the adults.
Here is our child policy regarding the Nile Cruise tours:-
1) Children under 4 years are exempted and are free of charges that are “Sharing Parents room”.
2) Children under 6 years: will be charged 25% of the total cost of the adult.
3) Children from 6 to 11 years: will be charged 50% from adult price.
Anyway, for better understanding please contact travel agent.
Tipping Guideline
When it comes to tipping, your Nile cruise operator or your tour guide will most likely give you guidelines before or at the start of the trip. If you can, try to get the guidelines before you leave so that you can better plan how much of each currency you need.
In Egypt, tipping is almost preferred in USD but EUR or GBP are welcome. That doesn’t mean local currency isn’t wanted but the theory is that they make more money on foreign currency.
Where to book Dahabiya Nile cruise?
To book Nile cruise online you just need to have a look at the prices offered by companies and you’ll probably take a large and sharp inhale! We recommend booking Nile cruise from well established companies which operate private or small group tours.
