Luxury Dahabiya Cruise from Aswan
About your Nile cruise.
A dahabiya is a small sailing vessel with only a limited number of cabins, offering a quieter and more refined pace along the Nile between Aswan and Luxor. The vessel is shared with other cabin guests, while sightseeing, the Egyptologist guide, the vehicle and transfers remain private for your Remoza Tours booking.
The program reaches sites that larger cruisers cannot approach and follows a naturally slower sailing rhythm. Daily stops, meals and overnight locations follow the operating program managed for this product.
