Azhar Dahabiya

A new dahabiya built in 2025 with up to eight terrace suites for 16 guests, sailing Aswan to Luxor. Suits small groups who want a private charter.

The Azhar is a dahabiya built in 2025, among the newest sailing boats on the Nile. It holds up to eight suites for up to 16 guests, and charters are offered for 10, 12, 14 or 16 people. Suites measure roughly 22 to 28 square meters, each with a balcony or terrace and an en-suite bathroom. On board are a shaded sun deck, indoor lounges and a library, and an Egyptologist gives briefings. A tug supplies power when the wind drops. Listings disagree on a pool, jacuzzi or spa, so do not count on one.

The Azhar sails north from Aswan to Luxor on programs of three to seven nights. The sailing day is set per departure and given with the quote. Stops include Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna before Luxor. Meals are fresh Egyptian dishes made with local ingredients, served in the dining room. Fly into Aswan and out of Luxor to fit this direction, and see Philae before you board.
