Dear Brittani, Dear Johanna,
we just arrived last night back in Switzerland, and I wanted to write and tell you how happy we were with our trip.

The sailboat and the crew were amazing. It was such a beautiful experience, and such a privilege to be able to take a sailboat up and down the Nile and visit the wonderful sites.

We were very impressed with the food, and in the end we ate all the salads and uncooked dishes because we felt we could trust the kitchen and water filter set up, and we didn’t have any issues.

The tours with Hisham were fantastic, and your Cairo partner was great as well.

Thank you for making our Egypt trip so perfect.

Best regards,
Harun and Daniel

Expérience unique, je ne referai probablement jamais une autre roisiére sur le Nil, mais elle ne pourra jamais dépasser celle-ci. L’équipage est super sympa, la nourriture délicieuse, et les baignades dans le Nil qui rafraîchissent.
Merci beaucoup de ces souvenirs que vous nous laissez.

“wenn man in Ägypten ist, muss man diese Fahrt gemacht haben – ein Traum!”

Wir werden diese Nilreise niemals vergessen und sagen danke für den tollen Service an Bord.

Jackie A., June 25th, 2023

Wow, wow, wow!!! We had the most beautiful time on the Nile. Everything was exceptional – the boat, staff, food, site, swimming in the Nile, and dancing under the stars… we loved every second of it. Thank you so much for letting us stay – and we hope to be back very soon!

Aiya + Jonas from Australia, 28th June 2023

So in awe of these past few days on this spectacular boat! Everyone on board made the entire experience so incredible. The biggest smiles and next level views!
We both got so blissfully relax and learn at the same time. We never want to leave, could stay here forever.
We love Egypt! We love the Nile!
Thank you thank you thank you!

What others write about us

We also tremendously enjoyed a day trip sailing on a Dahabeya along the Nile with Johanna and Mohammed from Sail the Nile .

If you want to go on a Nile trip but are reluctant to go on a big cruise ship, the smaller Dahabeya might be right for you. A Dahabeya is a traditional two-masted sailing boat. Until the 1870s they were the standard for Nile cruises and over the last few years their numbers have increased again. Different from the bygone days they are towed by diesel-powered tugboats if there is no wind. And the comfortable cabins on board provide electricity too.

IT WAS HEAVEN!!!

It really does feel like a dream as it was so beautiful and incredible to float up the Nile! It really was like heaven I’m sure! My friends at home asked if we got sea sick…NO WAY as the Nile just flows so gently. My colleagues were thanking me profusely for talking them into the dahabiya sail boat over the cruise. … More

Sailing the Nile with the best crew EVER

I sailed the Nile with this group for 5 days and it was amazing! The best guide ever and the crew was splendid. The cook kept us healthy and well fed with amazing meals of local fare. The daily tours were out of this world. This boat was not huge and much more fun sailing for days than rushing in a day or two in a huge boat. … More

Christina V., Cairo, Egypt

Experience the ancient world

We only had 2 days in Luxor and Joanna planned a tour that enable us to see most attractions between Luxor and Edna. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with useful insights.

Night on Felucca, felt like royalty! Private hire! WOW!

You have to sail on the Nile if you are in Egypt and the traditional felucca is the best experience. We only had time for one night but this was no problem for Luxor Sail the Nile. From our initial enquiry and through the planning their communications were excellent. … More

Five glorious days sailing on the Nile on the Dahabiya, The Abundance!

What a fabulous trip. For those not familiar with a dahabiya (and I was not either), it is a most comfortable way to visit the great sights of Egypt. The double rooms come with comfortable twin beds and a private bath. You can open the windows wide with full views of the Nile and soft river breezes cool you at night. … More
