Spend seven nights sailing the Nile with this wonderful cruise aboard the elegant family-owned Dahabiya Dream. The Nile is the nurturing life blood of the earliest & most advanced of the worlds ancient civilizations. Its importance to the worlds history cannot be overestimated & nor can its sense of evocative mystery, its beauty or the impact of its vast temples & monuments. Aboard the Dahabiya Dream, youll travel with highly trained staff & a fluent English speaking Egyptologist who will enlighten you about the marvels of the ancient world that youll be seeing as you make your way south from Luxor to Aswan. The boat itself is designed to be as close as possible to a traditional Nile cruise boat, which the likes of Howard Carter & Nelson would have travelled on when first exploring Egypt. As you make your way towards Aswan youll see some of the most important & impressive archaeological sites of antiquity. The Valley of Kings & the Karnak Temple are unparalleled sites of Pharonic significance, whilst Kom Ombo & Philae Island are fascinating & beautiful examples of the durability of ancient design principles & the arrival of Roman influence. While youre onboard the traditional Dahabiya Dream, you can chill out on the sundeck & admire the view, or curl up in a shady spot with a book. Each day youll be served delicious gourmet cuisine, which is hand prepared by the chef, with fresh, locally-sourced igredients, including traditional spices. This offer
