Though the word dahabiya refers to a kind of boat, it also means “golden one” in Arabic. You’ll feel like a golden one aboard this extraordinary vessel – slender and low, with billowing sails fore and aft, impeccable lines and an air of absolute grace. Zein Nile Chateau was the first dahabiya of its kind to be created in imitation of its 19th-century predecessors and remains one of the loveliest sights on the river today. With capacity for just 12 guests, it is available exclusively for private charter. Glamorous, intimate and quintessentially Egyptian.
