The journey
A dahabiya carries eight to ten guests where the big cruisers carry three hundred — mooring at islands they cannot reach, sailing in silence they cannot buy. This is the Nile as the Edwardians had it, with our Cairo partner house handling every lock and landing.
Met and privately transferred to a Nile-view hotel; evening at leisure.
