Sandrine Nile Dahabiya was a ship used by pharaohs and sultans to travel down the Nile. It was made to carry famous people and royalty, and its name is still used for the most expensive boats today. Because it moves slowly, it lets you see and appreciate this fascinating country’s beautiful places. You’ll visit temples and legendary places, learn about Egyptian culture and history, and find secret islands and small villages. From the ship’s terrace, you can admire the beauty of the Nile banks. Between trips to ancient Egyptian sites and relics, you can enjoy the modernity of the Arabesque dahabiya. Whether you’re relaxing in the sundeck jacuzzi, enjoying the peace of your private and luxurious cabin, or getting pampered by our 5 Star staff, you’ll go home with a total dose of R&R and memories of Ancient Egyptian history and beautiful sites.
