Nour El Nil Dahabiya
Nour El Nil is a 45-meter sailing dahabiya with ten rooms in three categories for up to 20 guests, suited to small groups who want a slow trip.
Nour El Nil is a small traditional sailing boat about 45 meters long that carries up to 20 guests. Its ten rooms come in three categories: two rooms in one, seven in another and a single room in the third. With so few guests, meals and deck time feel shared rather than crowded. It suits small groups and families who want a slow, quiet trip. Published details are thin, with no build year, room sizes or facility list, and the boat also appears under the name El Nil.
The sailing day is set per departure and given with the quote, along with the route and the number of nights. Like other dahabiyas, it moves slowly under sail and can stop at quiet banks where large cruise ships cannot. Karnak in Luxor and Philae in Aswan anchor the two ends of the river. Large pools and discotheques are rare on boats like this, so choose it for calm, not evening entertainment. October to April brings the coolest temple weather.
