The Nile Majestic Dahabiya is a boutique sailing boat that drifts along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan under sail, an intimate alternative to the larger cruise ships. Part of our Luxury Dahabiya collection, she is well suited to couples, honeymooners, families, and small groups who value privacy, hand-crafted interiors, and an unhurried pace.
With 16 cabins, including 4 suites, the Nile Majestic keeps guest numbers low and the mood personal, while hand-painted Egyptian detailing and French balconies give the boat a character of its own. Days combine guided temple visits with long, quiet stretches of sailing and moorings beside the islands of Upper Egypt.
Signature feature: Hand-painted suites and sun-deck pool
The Nile Majestic Dahabiya blends traditional sailing with hand-crafted interiors inspired by ancient Egyptian art. The boat offers 16 cabins in total: 12 standard cabins, six with large beds and six with twin beds, and 4 spacious suites. Standard cabins feature French balconies and panoramic windows, while the suites add private balconies. Every cabin has a private bathroom with a shower, individually controlled air conditioning, an electronic safe, a mini-fridge, a telephone, and satellite television when docked, finished with hand-painted star motifs and Egyptian detailing.
Onboard, guests share a buffet restaurant seating 34, a comfortable reception with a reading nook, and internet access throughout. The sun deck is made for slow days on the river, with a swimming pool, sunbeds, bean bags, bamboo Arabian-style seating, and shaded pergolas beneath the open sky.
Itineraries may change due to river conditions and regulations; we keep the sequence of visits wherever possible.

Our experience with Nile Empire was excellent from start to finish. Soliman helped us redesign our Egypt trip on very short notice and customized everything around our schedule, including internal flights, hotels, and a Nile cruise. We loved that all sightseeing tours were private, giving us flexibility throughout the trip. The guides, drivers, and overall organization were outstanding, and we never had to worry about anything during our stay in Egypt.
