Nile river-yacht
Cruise the Nile in a small group of no more than 16 travelers
aboard the privately-chartered Asiya river-yacht
Cruise the timeless waters of the Nile for five nights aboard a dahabeya, a classic river-yacht that
glides between Luxor and Aswan, exclusive to our group of just 16 travelers. Because of its intimate
size, the Asiya is able to access many of the ancient monuments, small islands, and riverside
villages that the large, motor-driven river ships can only pass by. Elegant and informal, our private
river-yacht pays homage to and updates the 200-year-heritage of dahabeya design with a pleasing
blend of wooden decks and traditional Egyptian touches with a host of modern amenities.
