Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau Dahabiya

A traditional dahabiya with four cabins and two suites for up to 12 guests, a heated plunge pool and tailor-made three- to seven-night trips. It suits families and small groups.

The Zein Nile Chateau is a traditional sailing dahabiya with four cabins and two suites, for no more than 12 guests. The upper deck holds a heated plunge pool, a rare feature on a boat this size. Below, guests share a lounge, a dining room and a library. The cruise is fully inclusive except for alcohol, so there are few bills to settle at the end. It suits couples, families and small groups who want a private, flexible trip. A dahabiya has far fewer facilities than a large ship, and there is no evening entertainment program.

Trips are tailor-made, from three to seven nights, between Luxor and Aswan in either direction. The sailing day is set per departure and given with the quote. Expect calls at Edfu and Kom Ombo, with Karnak in Luxor and Philae Temple near Aswan. The boat does not operate in June or July. A family of up to 12 can ask about booking the whole boat, which lets you shape the route and pace.
