Questions travelers ask
What is the difference between a Nile cruise and a dahabiya?
A Nile cruise ship carries around 100 to 150 guests and has a pool, sun deck and set departure days. A dahabiya is a traditional sailing boat with a handful of cabins, a slower pace and stops at quieter sites. Both include full board and guided visits.
Which days of the week do Nile cruises depart?
Most 4-night Luxor-to-Aswan cruises depart on Mondays and Saturdays, while 3-night Aswan-to-Luxor cruises depart on Wednesdays and Fridays. Dahabiyas usually sail on Saturdays. Tell us your dates and we will match the right sailing to your itinerary.
