About Malika Merit
Malika Merit is a 50-metre, two-mast sailing dahabiya carrying up to fourteen guests in six cabins and a suite, the suite adding its own private terrace. The small guest count keeps the boat personal and unhurried as it sails the Luxor, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan reach.
Itineraries run from three to seven nights, with longer Luxor and Esna to Aswan sailings on Saturdays and a shorter Aswan to Luxor leg midweek, all at the pace of the sail.
A dining room with a bar, a lounge with a library and a sun deck fitted with an open-air jacuzzi, pergolas and daybeds give room to settle between temples, with a doctor on call and full fire-safety equipment aboard.
