Eyaru Dahabiya

The term "Eyaru" is derived from an old heliographic name that symbolizes the idea of the pharaohs' paradise in their afterlife. The concept of Eyaru served as inspiration for Eyaru during the design phase. Everything on Eyaru was designed and inspired by the "Eyaru" idea. It was intended to demonstrate and give you a taste of the real Egyptian culture. Egyptian spirit is the central theme of Eyaru. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Egyptian culture and take in the essence of Egypt everywhere you look. Every plate and carpet on Eyaru are handmade. Every chamber you enter has a unique design that is influenced by the idea of Eyaru from the era of the pharaohs, giving you a sense of the Egyptian spirit throughout. You will experience the most opulent hospitality while traveling over novel itineraries to discover new locations in Egypt. Along the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan, you will see a plethora of breathtaking locations, like Bassaw Village, and Gebel El-Silsila, which are exclusive to Dahabiya and inaccessible on major cruises. Along with visiting the incredible sites between Luxor and Aswan, you will also get to see the local marketplaces and live like a native in each of the cities you visit. You will go to a locals' home in Bassaw Village and spend time with these families. You will witness a day in the life of an Egyptians and learn about their way of life. The Egyptian spirit will also permeate your meals on Eyaru. All the meals you have while visiting will be real, authentic Egyptian fare. You can also get fresh ingredients for your meal or fish to cook on the sundeck during your trips to the neighbourhood markets! You'll have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in Egyptian culture. Additionally, you may watch live cooking demonstrations of your meal and pick up some local recipes to try when you return home. Because of its pergola, which is its standout feature, Eyaru is enjoyable throughout the year. One section of the sundeck is enclosed by glass due to the pergola. Thus, you don't have to skip the gorgeous views of the Nile while visiting by staying indoors throughout the winter. For this reason, Eyaru is the only Dahabiya that sails from Luxor to Aswan. For the first time in Nile, you can enjoy total privacy on board since Eyaru's staff sleeps overnight on the tugboat.
