This was a great trip. The ship/boat was beautiful. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, relaxing atmosphere. Great, really great staff. It was a great way to see Egypt. A lot of information provided at all the sites. Thanks Samir and staff.

From the outset, as we were exploring options for a Nile River cruise, Dahabiya Nile Sailing (DNS) was by far the most responsive and helpful - in particular Dina. We ultimately decided to book our cruise with DNS and absolutely made the right decision. Everything about our cruise was top notch! The Dahabiya boat itself was outstanding, the crew was professional, courteous, helpful and friendly, the food was excellent and our guide Mahmoud was the best! Our fellow passengers (there were only 6 others on our cruise) made the experience even more special. The trip itinerary was very well designed to be interesting, educational, cultural, enjoyable and relaxing, with an appropriate amount of free time. Our room comfortably housed 3 adults. Based upon our experience, the other excellent reviews for DNS that I read before booking our trip (and since returning home) are not overstated and are accurate. We believe DNS deserves the highest rating and recommendation!
Side note - Dina facilitated us adding a tour of Aswan before the start of our Dahabiya cruise, and adding a tour of Luxor after our cruise (I think this was through Real Egypt). The whole package worked smoothly, was executed without a hitch, and included all necessary transportation to and from lodging, sites and to the Luxor Airport. No worries and no stress. The customer service provided was fantastic!

Unforgettable experience. Dahabiya sailing is incredibly special, as you get to know your fellow passengers as well as the boat crew, creating an intimate journey and a bunch of nice memories. The trip is a perfect combination of relaxing moments and activities like guided visits to temples, local tours at fishing villages, or just bathing time in the Nile. The crew in Safiya Dahabiya has been wonderful, assisting us and making our experience even better. Also guiding has been great by Shaima in the various cultural visits to temples and other sites. Even tours arranged outside the sailing days have been wonderful. Special mention to Rihem and Beshoy, the guide and driver than accompanied us in the West Bank day tour in Luxor. They made that cultural day a unique experience. All in all, a magnificent trip with a serious company, which on top of everything is committed to improving the life of locals as well as preserving the environment and traditions.

Dahabiya Nile Sailing is an absolute must experience for your trip to Egypt! The traditional sail boat, with modern upgrades by Samir, is gorgeous & serene. The views from the boat are amazing, you get to experience sailing along the Nile on what seems like a 5-star hotel. The staff on board is extremely helpful, friendly & accommodating. The chef did a tremendous job, and all the food was delicious. Perfect experience for a trip to Egypt

The service remains top notch esp on the latest boat they have built. A lot of us looked at the other boats during our 4 days on board and decided that this was the best boat on the Nile.
We also stayed in some hotels to cover the areas where the boat does not sail. The guides took us to some places not on the tourist trail which resulted in some great experiences esp at Saqqara with the Tomb of Ti being well worth the visit and the strange place of the serapeum with it's huge sarcophagi
