  Going on a Dahabiya cruise is a quieter, more authentic way to experience the Nile. These traditional passenger sailboats with shallow bottoms and multiple sails have a long history, dating back thousands of years. They were the preferred choice for travelers sailing up and down the river until the late 1800s. Today, you can still experience a peaceful escape with a touch of luxury from a Nile river cruise on a Dahabiya. A closer connection to Egypt and the Nile One of the Dahabiya’s most charming features is its half-shaded sun deck. Outfitted with lounge chairs and sunbeds, the deck invites you to relax while watching daily life unfold along the riverbanks. Whether you're reading a book or enjoying a drink, the pace slows and the surroundings come into focus. There are only 5 to 8 cabins and one or two suites per boat, so a Nile river cruise on a Dahabiya keeps the experience personal. Each cabin includes authentic oriental decor as well as a private bathroom and indivi...
