About Mazaj Seba
Mazaj Seba is an intimate five-key dahabiya carrying up to ten guests, with four cabins of 25 sq m and a 60 sq m royal suite, sailing the reach between Luxor and Aswan. The boat is built for serene nights and silent sailing, drifting with the wind and mooring at islands like Al Ramady and El Sheikh Fadl that the large cruisers pass by.
Cabins come well appointed, each with a Nespresso machine, safe, mini bar and private bathroom, and there is high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. The sundeck is set with sunbeds, and indoor and outdoor dining areas stay open around the clock, alongside a coffee and tea station, all-day fresh juices and seasonal fruit on full board.
Itineraries run four or five nights from Luxor to Aswan, or a seven-night round trip from Luxor, calling at Esna, Edfu, Gebel el-Silsila, Kom Ombo and Philae.
