About this ship

Azhar

The Dahabiya Azhar is a beautifully crafted, boutique sailing vessel that brings the romance of 19th-century Nile travel into the modern era. Elegantly designed with a timeless aesthetic, the Dahabiya combines classic charm with contemporary comfort, offering a more intimate and personalized way to explore Egypt’s iconic river.With a maximum of only 8 suites, each thoughtfully appointed with plush bedding, en-suite bathrooms, and tasteful decor, the vessel ensures privacy and space for relaxation. The shaded deck invites leisurely afternoons with panoramic views of the Nile, while cozy indoor lounges provide comfortable spaces for socializing, reading, or enjoying briefings from your expert Egyptologist. Onboard dining showcases freshly prepared Egyptian cuisine, highlighting local ingredients and regional flavors in an intimate, elegant setting.Unlike larger cruise ships, the Dahabiya glides quietly along the Nile, allowing guests to experience the river’s serene beauty, observe daily life along its banks, and moor at quieter, less-visited sites. Every detail—from attentive service by the dedicated crew to the soft lapping of the river under the stars—contributes to a truly unforgettable and immersive Nile adventure. Like with all dahabiya's on the Nile, the Azhar is supported by a tug boat that provides power as well as navigation.
