Three Pyramids Dahabiya
A small dahabiya with six compact double cabins, one terrace suite and a sun-deck pool, leaving Luxor and Aswan on dates set by season. Suits small groups.
The Three Pyramids is a small sailing dahabiya with six double cabins of about 13 square meters and one suite of about 21 square meters. The suite has its own private terrace. A pool sits on the sun deck, which is rare on a boat this size. Cabins have air conditioning, a minibar and Wi-Fi, and the boat lists a gift shop and a doctor on call around the clock. Meals are full board. On calm days a motorboat tows her so the program keeps time. The honest limitation is space: the doubles are compact, so couples who want room should ask for the suite.
Departures leave Luxor and Aswan on dates set by season, with trips of four, five or eight days. The boat calls at Edfu and Kom Ombo and can moor at quiet banks where large ships cannot stop. Karnak sits at the Luxor end of the route and Philae at the Aswan end. Plan a spare day in either city if they fall outside your program. There is only one suite, and Christmas to New Year fills first, so request it early.
