Merit Dahabiya

A small dahabiya with eight cabins for up to 16 passengers and a Jacuzzi on board. Suits a family or group of friends who want most of a boat to themselves.

The Merit is a small sailing dahabiya with eight cabins and room for up to 16 passengers. A Jacuzzi is listed on board, which many boats of this size lack. With so few cabins, a family or a group of friends can take most of the boat. That means one table at meals and a sun deck shared only with people you know. It suits small groups who want privacy and a quiet pace. Published detail is thin, with no cabin sizes, length or build year given. We check those points with you before you book.

The sailing day is set per departure and given with the quote, along with the route and the number of nights. Like other dahabiyas, the Merit moves slowly and can moor at quiet banks where large ships cannot stop. Karnak in Luxor and Philae in Aswan sit at the two ends of the classic route. October to April is the most comfortable season, and holiday weeks fill first for whole-boat bookings.
