What is a Dahabia?
Traditional Egyptian Sailing yachts are called "Dahabia". A Dahabia is a metal sailing yacht built for cruising the Nile. These Boats are built to center life on deck during the charter. A spacious deck and a good size dining and lounging area and a comfortable cabin size are their main features. Accommodations from 1 to 8 persons in separate Triple or double cabins, Each with private Toilet/shower is available.

Life on Board
You could lounge on the deck sunbathing, sipping your drink, read your favorite novel or explore the natural beauty of Egypt as you sail. Land trips to ancient ruins are included. Mealtimes are another form of entertainment with all that local Egyptian cuisine and wonderful conversation. Having a meal under the stars on the River Nile, it's waters gently touching the sides of the boat is an experience not to be missed. For those who prefer a different view each day and are prepared for a different and unique cruise in Egypt, a holiday on Royal Cleopatra Dahabia Nile Cruise is the perfect solution.

What to Bring?
You need casual wear only; comfortable foot wear, swimming suit for the night you spend in the hotel in Luxor as most hotels have a swimming pool, a sun hat, some t-shirts and shorts, a sweater for cool evenings and for excursions and blue jeans. Instead of one large suitcase, we recommend that you take two small soft bags as they are more convenient to store in your cabin. Towels, soap and shampoo are available on board.

Your Crew
Crew usually consists of a Tour Guide, captain, one sailor, cook and a house keeper. On the larger Dahabia a sixth crew member will be at your service. They are very friendly and ready to help you for a relaxed atmosphere but at the same time extremely professional, familiar with the Nile river and the Dahabia inside out. The Tour guide is your source of information on the local history and surroundings, being able to advise the best places to visit and shop etc. Also you can get some tips from the cook on local cuisine. At night The tour guide is the only crew member who sleeps on board in his private cabin and private bathroom. The rest of the crew sleep on a different boat.

Royal Cleopatra is the only Nile Cruise that allows you a mix of meals that are served in : Local Restaurant, Luxury Hotels and barbecue on some of the islands in the middle of the Nile, and guarantee a memorable dining experience every day.
