Assouan Dahabiya

A compact 37-meter dahabiya built in 2005, with eight cabins including two Panoramic Rooms. It suits travelers who want a small, simple sailing boat and do not need much space.

The Assouan is a compact sailing dahabiya, about 37 meters long and built in 2005. It carries eight cabins in all. Two are Panoramic Rooms, the pick for anyone who wants more glass and light. The other six are standard cabins listed at about 8 to 9.7 square meters. With so few cabins, the boat feels closer to a private trip than a cruise, and you share the deck with a small group. It suits travelers who put the river and the temples ahead of the room. The standard cabins are small, so travelers who want space should look at a larger boat.

As a sailing boat, the Assouan moves at the pace of the wind and moors at quiet spots that large ships cannot reach. The sailing day, route and number of nights are set per departure and given with the quote. Most trips begin or end near the big temple sites, with Karnak at the Luxor end and Philae at the Aswan end. If you are booking as a couple, ask for one of the two Panoramic Rooms early.
