Eyaru Dahabiya

Eyaru Dahabiya in Brief

Eyaru is an ancient Egyptian word that means "Paradise" and represents the ideal of paradise in Pharaoh's mind. When Eyaru was still in the design phase, it got its inspiration from the concept of Eyaru. Everything on Eyaru Dahabiya boat was influenced and crafted in line with its "Eyaru" idea to allow you to experience the local Egyptian authentic lifestyle.

Eyaru Dahabiya is a chance to experience Egyptian culture and feel the Egyptian spirit around you. Everything made on Eyaru is hand-crafted from every single plate to carpet. It's easy to feel the Egyptian spirit throughout the rooms you stay in, and each will have a unique style.

You can enjoy the most lavish hospitality aborad Dahabeya Eyaru while discovering top Egypt travel destinations by taking unique routes. You'll visit various unforgettable places on the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan. These places are exclusive to Dahabiyas and are not accessible on larger cruises, such as El Hagz Island, Bassaw Village as well as Gebel El-Silsila.

While you enjoy the fantastic en-route attractions of ancient Egypt, you will experience the authentic daily life of the villages you visit and their local markets. At Bassaw Village, you will stay in a house of a local and stay with his family and friends. You will live a day on an Egyptian way of life and witness how they live.

Eyaru Dahabiya Nile Cruise is a place to enjoy throughout the year; it features a pergola, "a closed sundeck area with glass." Therefore, there's no reason to be indoors in the winter months and be unable to enjoy the stunning landscape of the Nile when you are there. That is why Eyaru is the one Dahabiya that sails across the Nile from Luxor to Aswan and vice versa.

Eyaru Dahabiya is pulled by a tugboat from a distance as it has no motors, meaning you don't hear any unsettling vibrations or sounds throughout your journey. Also, for this first time on the Nile, the crew of Eyaru spends their nights at the tugboat, which gives you total privacy aboard.
