Everything was planned perfectly!

We boarded the dahabiya and were surprised to be the only passengers! We had a beautiful suite! We made many stops at villages and historic sites over the five days on board. It was wonderful. All meals were prepared by the crew and we ate like kings and queens! We were able to sail a couple of times when the winds were favorable. We really enjoyed our time on the Dahabiya and it was with mixed emotions when we had to disembark at Aswan.

Great Sailing on the Nile like the Pharaohs!

We booked an 8 days small group tour with Solo Travel Egypt starting with 2 nights in Cairo and 4 nights on a Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Esna to Aswan. Communication for arranging the tour was great. The Solo Travel Egypt team is well organized and very professional. We had a great experience in all the places we visited. We specifically want to highlight our tour guide on the Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Esna to Aswan, Who was amazing, very knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about his job. We would definitely book again with them and will recommend them as well!
