About Three Pyramids
Built in 2019, Three Pyramids is a five-star sailing dahabiya carrying up to sixteen guests in eight cabins. Doubles run around 13 square metres and a suite of about 21 adds a private terrace, all with panoramic windows onto the river.
She runs the short Luxor-Esna-Aswan hops, four nights southbound and three nights back, with an extended seven-night sailing on request. Under a lateen sail with a motorboat alongside, the route threads Edfu's Temple of Horus, Kom Ombo and Aswan's Philae, reaching the quieter shore stops the big ships pass by.
The wooden sun deck carries loungers and oriental seating, and the boat runs on solar-powered systems. Cabins hold air conditioning, satellite TV and internet access; dining is full board and chef-prepared, with bottled water, tea and soft drinks included.
