Storia the Dahabeya
Experience the timeless romance of the Nile on board a sumptuous small ship
With white sails gleaming fore and aft, a cool breeze rippling across the Nile and Egypt’s history lined up along the riverbanks, a voyage aboard Storia the Dahabeya is the perfect blend of heritage, grandeur and contemporary cool. The ancient Egyptians believed the Nile was a gift from the gods, and as you sail sedately between Luxor and Aswan, you’ll understand why.
Step aboard and seek out your cabin - one of just a handful on this exclusive vessel. Enjoy serene river views from expansive windows. Sleep in cool comfort on Egyptian cotton linens (naturally). Or revel in a luxurious freestanding tub in one of two spacious suites. Ranging across three decks, the ship’s other facilities include an elegant dining space; a terrace and solarium – ideal for basking under the Egyptian sun; a plunge pool for instant refreshment; and an onboard spa and gym where you can work up a sweat, or completely unwind.

Thanks to these well-designed amenities and a tailorable itinerary, life on board the Storia the Dahabeya can be as active – or relaxed – as desired. The crew are on hand to arrange activities and entertainment on board or off, with enlightening Egyptology sessions, gourmet cooking classes and mesmerising star gazing evenings all on offer. After days packed with culture, enjoy a candlelit dinner on the banks of the Nile as the sunset spills a kaleidoscope of colour across the water.

A river of activity
Drifting down the Nile at a stately pace, relaxation comes easy on the Storia the Dahabeya. But beyond the riverbank there are plenty of excursions for those seeking a change of pace. An afternoon sandboarding down Aswan’s formidable dunes promises excitement and adrenalin. Or hit the river under your own paddle-power on a kayaking trip around Philae Temple. For unsurpassed views of Egypt’s stunning landscapes, hitch a ride on a hot air balloon at Luxor, and experience this majestic city from a new perspective.
Ancient splendours
Following in the footsteps of the pharaohs, the Storia the Dahabeya makes plenty of stops along its journey, from the temples of Luxor to the Valley of the Kings. Disembark at Kom Ombo to explore a unique double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and falcon god Haroesis. Soak up the ambience of ancient tombs belonging to Tutankhamun and Seti I. And admire colossal monuments and the vibrant colours of a remarkable Nubian village.

Luxury with Exceptional Service on the Nile
Aqua Dahabeya is the most impeccably designed vessel on the Nile—modern, stylish, and intimate, with amenities rarely found on river cruises. With only a few cabins, most reserved for private charters, an individual booking feels like a privilege.

Perfectly Personalized 4-Night Nile Cruise — Aqua Dahabeya, Luxor→Aswan
The best aspect of this cruise is how personalized it is. We stayed at two other five-star hotels in Egypt, but our experience with AQUA stood out by far. When we encountered a sandstorm mid-cruise and the boat couldn’t proceed, the manager, Mr. Khaled, told us not to worry because they had ways to handle Read more[SPLIT]Read lessit, and indeed we soon resumed and enjoyed the cruise as if nothing had happened.
