Nile Cruising by Rihana Dahabiya

Cruise the Nile onboard a traditional style dahabiya. These riverboats were common in Egypt during the 1920s-40s when aristocrats and sophisticated travellers sailed the Nile in style. Each boat has eight spacious cabins with en-suite bathroom, huge panoramic windows, TV, mini-bar, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities and safe, as well as a lounge, bar and library, creating a relaxing club atmosphere. There is a barbecue area and Jacuzzi and comfortable lounge chairs on the sun deck.
