Amoura Dahabiya Nile Cruise 4 Days
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.

I had a great time and I'm glad I got to go after all. The driver was professional, considerate, and friendly and we had a good time during the long drive to the temples and back before my flight home. Mr. Ali really cares about your experience and happiness in Egypt and he will go to great lengths to help you make the most of your stay! He was flexible with my schedule and helped to accomodate my needs even as my itinerary was changing! He called to check in during my trip and after as well to get feedback on my experience, showing excellent customer service. You will not regret booking an experience with Ali Voyage. I booked my trip on their website and he told me they are working on updating their system to make credit card payments possible on their website which is surely going to make it even more accessible to travellers. Thank you Ali Voyage! I recommend this travel agency 👍 👍 PS - I recommend getting a private car for the temples so you can avoid the massive crowds from the group tours and cruises.David A2023-12-25Awesome guide and driver Ali was very awesome guide, He took us to the best spot and very interesting !
