Notes

 

The Cabins:
Each boat has six delightfully appointed private cabins measuring 5.75 meters x 2.50 meters . The cabins (maximum occupancy two persons) have private bathrooms of 1.25 meters x 2.50 meters with a wc, wash basin, shower and hairdryer. Some cabins offer two single beds and others have a double. Each Dahabia comfortably accommodates twelve passengers sharing in doubles . Yet of course in a lot of cases we have smaller parties that prefer to charter the boat for four, five or six guests only .

The cabins are named them in keeping with the ship's theme. For example, on the Zahra ('flower') you will find the 'white lotus' cabin; on the Nesma ('breeze') you have 'the zephyr', each with tasteful, individualized embellishments.

 

 

 

Food on board:
Our onboard chef is expert at preparing wholesome, appetizing Egyptian and international cuisines, while barbeques and picnics will be organized on the riverbanks and islands in the Nile. Your meals (starting with lunch at embarkation and ending with breakfast at disembarkation) are all inclusive, along with tea, coffee and soft drinks as well as a daily high tea. Passengers are, however, invited to bring their own alcoholic beverages - none are available onboard due to licensing restrictions - but we'll supply the ice and the mixers at no additional charge.
