Generally there will be from eight to twenty passengers aboard the Dahabiya which can mean a far more attentive experience as well as a bit more time and control over visits to specific sites. Words can’t describe how amazing everything was. Highly recommend it if you are looking for a unique Christmas trip.
Magic Cairo
What experts you all are in the different roles you provide to make the holiday extra special. This started with excellent information and communication with Explore Egypt from day 1 of our enquiry with you. We enjoyed our time in Cairo - the pyramids could not fail to impress! And the Oberoi is beautifully quiet and the perfect place to relax, with the added bonus of the stunning house reef which we enjoyed every day.
Traditional Egyptian charm
Please pass our thanks again to everyone. We would not hesitate to recommend Explore Egypt to family and friends. The Treasures of Egypt tour was an incredible experience that exceeded our expectations. We visited iconic sites, enjoyed comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, and a Nile River cruise.
Sustainable Travel
Built in 2023, this boat is a perfect blend of refinement and tradition. Let yourself be carried away by the elegance of her sails, a symbol of a timeless voyage on the legendary waters of the Nile. Spacious and tastefully appointed, its magnificent sundeck invites you to savour moments of absolute relaxation. The boat and rooms are beautiful, the staff very attentive and the food lovely.
You will not only visit the amazing attractions between Luxor and Aswan, but also experience the real daily life in each town you visit and explore the local markets occasionally. S/v Elephantine operate under the umbrella of Aegyptus Intertravel, license No. 948 of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism, and member of the Egyptian Association of Travel Agencies. After two years and at the third attempt we recently spent a very enjoyable week on the Dream. We were allocated the William Flinders Petrie cabin which while I wouldn't describe as luxurious was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The upper deck is the USP for the boat, a beautifully furnished space in which to relax and watch the daily life of local Egyptians unfold on the banks of the glorious river Nile. This was the highlight of the tour for us.The food on board was excellent, plentiful and varied.
Stroll through local villages
We had one of the best and most intimate cruise experiences. The staff at the dining room are awesome. The chef and food are exceptional and one the best we have in all of previous cruises. Salwa at the Spa is magical and most of us visit her more than once during our trip. She took away all the ache and pain from all the walking....the best massage I ever had. Ali, our cameraman is hilarious and full of personality.

Only flight cancellation/changing fees are charged, according to the airline's terms and conditions, and bank surcharges fees are applied to the deposit amount paid. Familiarize yourself with our full payment policy, cancellation and refund conditions. Part of the fun of a dahabiya is getting to know the crew, who take care of everything from sailing the boat to cooking fresh meals. This was a cruise Christmas tour organized by Memphis Tours.
The boat also has two “panoramic suites,” each with floor-to-ceiling windows and an indoor sitting area. There aren’t private balconies as on some of the hotel ships. One of the benefits in choosing Dahabiya Nile River cruises is the small size of the boats.
Nour El Nil has gained a reputation as a luxury operator, and in some ways it is, but in other ways the experience is on the rugged side, appealing to travelers like me with a sense of adventure. Dahabiya Nile cruises might not be the cheapest option for those who are longing to cruise the world’s longest and most famous river, but they are well and truly in a league of their own. Tour has been amazing with amazing tour guide. Very good with language, knowledge and amazing with my 4 yr old. The Oberoi Zahra is definitely the best cruiser on the Nile.
Enjoy a truly memorable journey to Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. Discover the classic way to cruise the Nile with one of the most luxurious Dahabiyas out there, Eyaru Dahabiya. Enjoy the most luxurious hospitality while exploring new destinations in Egypt through unique routes. 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 facilitate genuine connections between travelers and locals, breaking down barriers and fostering mutual understanding. It goes against our guidelines to offer incentives for reviews.
Special mentions for Mahmood and Linda. Dahabiya is a wonderful vessel with views so much better that from behind patio doors on a multi-story cruise ship and so much quieter as we were towed/sailed. With so few passengers, fellow travellers could make or break the trip...we considered all on board to now be friends.
The half-shaded sun-deck is the heart of the Dahabiya, with chairs, a divan, sun beds and dining tables. This is the perfect place to enjoy daily life on the riverbanks and watch the landscape gliding by. Life on board a Dahabiya Nile cruise is peaceful and idyllicA 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.
This Egypt travel tips & guide will give you a detailed rundown of absolutely everything you should know before visiting Egypt. This is based on the traveller’s experience. Our Sonesta Amirat Dahabeya offers 5 cabins and 2 suites on a 7 night experience cruising between Luxor and Aswan. Our Gorgonia Dahabiya offers fantastic shore excursions along the Nile River to explore the wonders of ancient Egypt in all its glory.
Memphis Tours provided a wonderful trip. Without a doubt, I'll reuse their services once more when I return. The Nile Cruise on the Historia was excellent. The staff and service was above and beyond. There was this place called "Café Maure" it overlooks the “Abouregrag” River, We had tea with mint there and the view was amazing. Never imagined that Jordan is so magical.
Step aboard our 1899 Dahabiya and experience a journey like no other, where every moment on the Nile is cherished. Get in touch and we will create something for you. Freshly made meals and snacks are included in the price of the trip; alcohol costs extra. The Nile River is famous as the world’s longest river, but is also known for the history that seems to spring up along its Egyptian shores. I traveled with my husband to Egypt for the New Year and we spend New Year's Eve on the Nile.
The Merit Dahabiya Nile cruise is designed to enable you to enjoy Egypt with its magnificent and richly decorated temples and tombs. Here, at Memphis Tours, we prioritize your well-being and safety above all else and for that reason, we have adapted our cancellation policy to reflect our values.
