Queen Nefer features a unique wooden style that blends modern comfort with ancient charm. We’ve carefully selected materials sourced from Egypt, including bed covers, tablecloths, and mattresses, ensuring a truly authentic experience. The boat sails along the Nile from Esna to Aswan, passing picturesque villages and islands. This traditional journey offers the perfect opportunity to explore the river’s ancient sights. During your free time, you can relax with a book, enjoy fishing, swim, or take a leisurely stroll through local villages to discover markets and experience the simple, everyday life of the Egyptian people. It’s a truly immersive way to connect with the culture and history of the Nile.
Meals on board are freshly prepared and served on the sundeck, in the dining room, or at a scenic spot along the Nile’s banks. Dining under the starry sky by campfire light is a truly unforgettable experience. Unlike the large cruisers with their flashy parties and discos, this journey offers a peaceful and intimate atmosphere. Instead of noisy entertainment, you may have the chance to enjoy a show by local musicians beneath the stars. It’s a serene, authentic way to savor both the local culture and the natural beauty of the Nile, providing a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This tranquil setting creates the perfect environment for relaxation and connection with nature.
Our crew, consisting of 10 to 12 members from local villages along the sailing route, goes above and beyond to ensure your journey is memorable. A qualified guide is on board 24/7, fluent in your language and Arabic, to assist with communication in villages, share cultural insights, and answer questions about the natural surroundings. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy traditional meals prepared by our chef, who offers cooking classes as well. For adventure, you can use kayaks or swim in the Nile. A tugboat accompanies the dahabiya to maintain speed when the wind is insufficient. Sustainability is a priority, with solar panels on most boats to reduce fossil fuel use, and eco-friendly bottles and bags provided to minimize environmental impact.
