About this property
Dahabiya Dream Luxury Nile Cruises
Dahabiya ‘Dream’ is the name of our traditional Nile cruise boat and Explore travel and Cruises want you to have the holiday of a lifetime by experiencing the magic of Egypt in a special and memorable way. During the 19th Century, gentry visitors travelled the Nile on luxurious private yachts known as Dahabiyas. These boats are beautifully crafted wooden sailing ships and allow you to experience the Nile in a nostalgic way. To be called a genuine Dahabiya the boat must have no engine and so sailing on Dream is peaceful and vibration free and is truly a unique river cruise experience. Our company owned and family run Dahabiya ‘Dream’ has been hand crafted to create an authentic sail boat as used by travellers and explorers discovering the wonders and mysteries of the Nile. This Luxury Dahabiya Dream Nile cruise itinerary combines historical and mystical sightseeing with the peace and tranquillity of a Nile cruise as you dreamt it should be. You will visit all the famous sites including the Valley of Kings and Karnak Temple as well as others not on the main tourist map such as El Kab and some of the remote beautiful islands along the Nile. With all your meals and soft drinks, tea and coffee included we want you to relax and enjoy the experience as you make your own journey of discovery on this truly luxury Nile cruise.

Why they chose this property
A Dahabiya cruise on the river Nile allows you to explore the ancient sites of Egypt in a traditional way and simply we wanted to recreate the elegance and style not known since the 1920′s in cruising the Nile.
Dahabiya Dream’s story starts with Explore Travel & Cruises commissioning the build of this Dahabiya in March 2009 and was completed in October 2010. This Dahabiya is company owned and family run so there is no third party supplier involved and we take the time to getting it right for you. Every care has been taken over the build and finish of this boat to ensure it is as authentic as it can be. Explore Travel & Cruises embraces an ethical approach to its business and believes in supporting the local communities and economy.
