Our cruise offers a unique chance to visit picturesque local villages and idyllic islands. You will visit many unforgettable sites along the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan, sites that are unique to Dahabiyas which you won’t find on large cruises; such as Al-Ramadi Island where you can have dinner on the island then get entertained with a unique Rababa Egyptian show then have an overnight alongside the nature. You will also get a chance to meetup with locals and spend the day perceiving how they truly live. Another eccentric adventure provided by our cruise is at Hor Diab island where you can have the best swimming experience in the purest and clearest Nile water in the appealing weather.
