Cruise the timeless waters of the Nile for five nights aboard a dahabeya , a classic river-yacht that glides between Luxor and Aswan , exclusive to our group of no more than 16 travelers . The Asiya , the Aton , the Aida and her sister ship , the Amunet , are among Egypt ’ s first eco-friendly dahabeyas . Intimately sized , they are able to access many of the ancient monuments , small islands , and riverside villages that the large , motor-driven river ships can only pass by . Elegant and informal , they pay homage to the 200-year-heritage of dahabeya design with a pleasing blend of wooden decks and traditional Egyptian touches with a host of modern amenities .
