Members' reviews on REAL EGYPT
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The Dahabiya Safiya is spacious, luxurious, large cabins all with large windows and individual bathrooms.
14 guests were taken care of very well by 9 crew, all of them very friendly and attentive. Excellent food on board.
We had a good mix of history, archaeology, local culture (farmers & fishermen) and time for relaxation on board the Dahabiya.
Drivers and Tour guides in Cairo (Mouri, Youssef, Muhammad) as well as in Luxor and on the Dahabiya (Hani) have been great. All very knowledgable, friendly and helpful.
Tour preparation and planning with Real Egypt folk (especially Dani) has been diligent and very flexible to accomodate our preferences.
Overall a great experience!
Floating on the “Safiya” (The Pure One) over the impressive Nile, passing tiny villages, the ancient world at your feet and the desert just behind it while travelling comfortably and being tended genuinely warm and professional seemed like we were part of a 1001 Nights fairytale.
We are not giving away more…
A big thank you to Mahmoud our very knowledgeable and fun to be with guide and the lovely dahabiya crew Ibrahim, Emad, Ammar and the other important eight behind the scenes as well as the solid agency.
The moment you expand and start cruising from Cairo to Luxor (visiting Dendara, Abydos, and more) we are on it again, if not a revisit with friends and family before that :-)
PS: for some anticipatory pleasure, you might enjoy a nice song we picked upon our Egypt trip “Tamalley Maak” (Amr Diab).
Tout était incroyable, le service était au-delà de nos attentes.
Les personnes travaillant sur cette dahabiya sont en plus d’être de formidables professionnelles, de très belles personnes avec qui il est facile de discuter et d’échanger,
Les arrêts choisis sont parfaits: temples, visite de villages locaux, paysages magnifiques… à des horaires qui vous permettent d’éviter le tourisme de masse pour pouvoir profiter au maximum des lieux, et avec une guide de qualité
Les petit-déjeuners, les déjeuners et les dîners étaient tous très bons, nous avons même eu le droit à un cours de cuisine du chef au coucher de soleil.
N’hésitez pas, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

The boat itself was wonderful! The crew was over the top. They had a great four day plan including music, singing and dancing. So fun!! Food was also good and accommodated my fish and veggie diet.
There may have been a bit more information about activities, however you could pick and choose what you wanted to participate in. We learned an incredible amount of information from our tour guide Honny. Yes that was his real name. He was super great !
I highly recommend this Four night Nile Sailing Cruise on Dahabiya Nile Sailing.
