Two hundred passengers or sixteen. Buffet lines or deck dining. A fixed schedule or a sail that follows the wind. The Nile offers both, but only one will stay with you. The Three Pyramids Dahabiya Nile Cruise is seven rooms, six double cabins, and one suite with a private terrace, gliding between Luxor and Aswan. Meals cooked on board. Moorings beside Al Ramady Island. Stars on the ceiling. Choose the Nile that remembers you.

Good to know
A maximum of 16 guests across 6 double cabins and 1 suite. That small number keeps the boat quiet, the service personal, and the sun deck uncrowded.
Six double cabins at 13 square metres with twin or large beds dressed in Egyptian cotton. One suite at 21 square metres with a large bed and a private terrace. All cabins include panoramic windows, air conditioning, and a private bath with shower and hairdryer.
Full board is included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner freshly prepared on board by the chef. Meals are served on the sundeck, in the dining room, or at a scenic spot along the Nile banks. Unlimited tea, coffee, and snacks are available throughout the day.
Two main routes. A 4-day / 3-night cruise from Aswan to Luxor departing every Friday. A 5-day / 4-night cruise from Luxor to Aswan departing every Monday. Both include guided visits to Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Karnak, and Luxor Temple.
Yes. Weather, Nile traffic, and navigational conditions can occasionally alter the schedule. The captain always prioritizes your safety and comfort. An accompanying motorboat pulls the dahabiya when the wind is calm.
Yes. Families and small groups can charter the vessel for a private cruise with full control over the itinerary. Contact us for a tailored quote.
