About Dahabiya Dream
Dahabiya Dream is a hand-crafted wooden sailing dahabiya with no engine, so the passage is peaceful and free of vibration. Built in 1920 and refitted in 2021, she carries six double cabins for up to twelve guests and is home-ported at Luxor Marina, sailing the Nile between Luxor and Aswan.
The teak deck sits under a bimini for shade, with air conditioning throughout and a full galley aboard. Full board is included, with meals cooked by the onboard chef, soft drinks, tea and coffee, and a barbecue on deck.
Each cabin has air conditioning and a balcony, and the boat carries a dinghy for going ashore. Free Wi-Fi is included in the charter.
