EGYPTIAN SAILING BOAT
Charter the Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau and you will cruise in style aboard a traditionally-inspired dahabiya – a type of Egyptian sailing boat that has plied the Nile for centuries.
The Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau is luxurious in all senses of the word. Once on board you will be treated to gourmet food served in a dining room with all round panoramic views of the Nile and the passing countryside of Egypt.
You will be one of only 12 guests, you will be able to laze on an elegant sun deck, dip in a pool and watch the river from the ship’s rail.
You can specify where you go, what you see, the places you visit on shore and – since the Sanctuary Zein Nile Chateau is much smaller than other cruisers – you will be able to land in places the larger liners can only sail past. Between Luxor and Aswan, the world of the ancient Egyptians as well as today’s sights are yours. And on board you’ll have the luxury of insight; a lecture by an expert Egyptologist, cookery classes, dancing to Arabic music…
