Meroe Dahabiya

A 55-meter dahabiya rebuilt in 2017, with two Panoramic Suites and eight Luxury Rooms, sailing Esna to Aswan in five nights. It suits travelers who want a slow trip on a small boat.

The Meroe is a sailing dahabiya about 55 meters long and 8.5 meters wide, rebuilt in 2017. It carries ten rooms in total. Two Panoramic Suites take the best views, and eight Luxury Rooms make up the rest. That gives a small group plenty of deck space on a long hull. You may also see the boat listed as Nour El Nil, so check the name on your confirmation. It suits couples and small groups who like a slow pace and few fellow guests. The boat does not sail from June to August, so summer travelers need another option.

The listed trip runs five nights from Esna to Aswan. The sailing day is set per departure and given with the quote. Starting at Esna means a transfer from Luxor before boarding, so Karnak is best seen before you sail. The boat moves with the wind and stops at quiet banks large ships pass by, finishing near Philae Temple. Book a Panoramic Suite early, since there are only two.
