About this tour
A dahabiya carries a handful of cabins, not hundreds of passengers, and sails largely under wind power — a genuinely different pace from a standard Nile cruise ship, with village stops a larger vessel simply can't make. A short two-day introduction to dahabiya sailing, Esna to Edfu.
