There are many ways of cruising the Nile, but none of them give you the unique feeling that you are at one with the water, the wind and at one with nature as you do onboard the Dahabieh.  You will never feel more like a pharaoh sailing to Upper Egypt to visit the works of art that survived during thousands of years, and which we are happy to help you discover.

Until the 19th century, only the wealthy, upper class had the opportunity of travelling by "Dahabieh" from Cairo to Upper Egypt.  Today the Dahabieh cruise is for the people who search for exclusive, special holidays that could offer you relaxation, fun or both, but most importantly, a detailed view of the monuments left from one of the most developed civilisations that ever existed.
"Nile Heaven II" is a new boat able to carry 20 passengers on board through Upper Egypt, between Luxor/Esna and Aswan. You can choose to spend the nights of your journey in either one of the 2 panoramic suites, 8 luxury cabins with air conditioning or the standard room (usually reserved for the guide).  The cabins onboard the Dahabieh are double cabins with a large double bed or two large single beds, a wardrobe and an ensuite shower/bathroom. The cabins are all whitewashed with large windows that consist of 3 separate sliding layers of window; shutters, glass and a Mosquito mesh designed for the comfort of passengers.
The "Nile Heaven II", is 45m by 7.5m with a large deck inviting you to lay on one of the sun chairs or on a comfortable relaxing sofa while listening to the sounds of nature.

We will serve you a tasty Egyptian breakfast, lunch and evening meal on board  "Nile Heaven II" together with unlimited service of coffee, tea, fresh juices and soft drinks and bottled water on request, all included in the cost of your voyage. The meals can be served at set times, but we can vary this to suit the requirements of our passengers. You can have privacy during the meals so you don't have to eat with other passengers or you can dine in your cabin if preferred.  We serve fresh locally sourced organic products, cooked by one of the best chefs in Egypt.
On request, we can assure you the services of a local Egyptian guide which will accompany you to the archaeological sites and who will offer you all the information you need.

Boarding the Dahabieh is usually 9 AM and the disembarkation from the boat normally takes place on the 6th day of your trip if you are having a classic 5 nights and 6 days voyage.
Before and after the cruise we can arrange transfers to the boat and back and assist with the reservation and booking of hotel accommodation upon request.
