Overview

The Fatima Dahabiya is a boutique luxury sailing vessel for travellers who'd rather drift the Nile than steam down it. Carrying just 24 guests across 12 elegant cabins, this intimate dahabiya glides between Luxor and Aswan under sail, slipping into quiet moorings and lesser-visited riverbanks that the big cruise ships simply can't reach — a calm, crowd-free alternative with polished wood interiors, panoramic suites and genuinely personal service.

Days unfold around Egyptologist-led excursions to Edfu, Kom Ombo and the Valley of the Kings, while onboard life centres on a heated deck pool, an elegant dining salon serving full-board gourmet cuisine, and unhurried evenings of cultural gatherings under the stars. Ideal for couples, honeymooners and small groups, it can also be chartered privately for milestone celebrations or weddings. An exclusive, immersive luxury Nile cruise for 2026–2027, fully ATOL protected.
