Overview

Picture yourself drifting along the legendary Nile, surrounded by palm-lined shores, ancient temples, and golden-hued sunsets. Welcome to the Merit Dahabiyas Nile Cruise, where tradition meets comfort on a voyage designed for those seeking a more personal, serene, and authentic Egyptian experience.

The Merit Dahabiyas are beautifully crafted traditional sailboats—elegant, quiet, and rich in character. Without the hum of motors, the boat is gently guided by a tugboat, allowing you to soak in the peaceful rhythms of the river. Unlike larger vessels, the Dahabiyas can access hidden gems like Al Ramady Island and Hor Diab Island, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters and explore secluded landscapes untouched by mass tourism.
