Overview
Amoura Dahabiya Nile Cruise 4 Days
General Information:
The Dahabiya, meaning "golden one" in Arabic, is a large sailing vessel with two expansive lateen sails. Historically, archaeologists and wealthy adventurers traveled through Egypt along the Nile in these boats, much like the ancient Egyptians did. Today's Dahabiyas are replicas of the original boats but come equipped with modern amenities. The Dahabiya Nile Cruise offers a nostalgic journey back to the golden age of travel.
The Amoura Dahabiya Nile cruise boat is designed to provide privacy and luxurious accommodation on a smaller vessel, allowing you to explore the treasures of the Nile Valley between Luxor and Aswan. The Amoura Cruise departs every Friday from Aswan to Luxor for a 4-day/3-night journey.
