Experience the Nile aboard Amelia, an authentic traditional dahabiya


Amelia offers an intimate and peaceful way to discover the Nile, far from the atmosphere of large cruise ships.

With her traditional design, elegant wooden interiors and welcoming spaces, Amelia invites you to experience the timeless charm of sailing through Upper Egypt at a gentle pace.

Between Luxor and Aswan, enjoy the landscapes of the Nile, visit remarkable archaeological sites and discover villages and riverbanks that are often inaccessible to larger vessels.

An Authentic Dahabiya on the Nile

A traditional sailing experience between Luxor and Aswan

Amelia combines the character of a traditional Egyptian sailing boat with the comfort required for a relaxing Nile journey.

Her limited capacity creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, allowing guests to enjoy the river in complete tranquillity.

Life on board follows the rhythm of the Nile: peaceful navigation, stops along the river, visits to ancient temples and quiet evenings under the Egyptian sky.

Discover the Nile Differently

A dahabiya cruise is not simply a journey from Luxor to Aswan. It is an opportunity to experience another side of Egypt.

Depending on the itinerary and sailing conditions, Amelia can stop at peaceful villages, islands and archaeological sites along the Nile.

These smaller and more flexible stops are part of what makes travelling aboard a dahabiya so different from a conventional Nile cruise.

Life on Board Amelia

The experience aboard Amelia is designed around simplicity, comfort and authenticity.

Guests can relax on the spacious deck while watching the landscapes of Upper Egypt slowly pass by, enjoy freshly prepared meals and spend peaceful moments surrounded by the Nile.

The small number of travellers also allows for a more personal experience and greater flexibility throughout the cruise.
