The antique dahabiya glided silently down the Nile as the sun set behind the palm trees.

We spent two unforgettable weeks cruising the Nile aboard several ornate dahabiyas, drifting past ancient temples and riverside villages.

We spent a peaceful week aboard a dahabiyah, drifting slowly down the Nile and watching the sunset.

Several dahabiyahs drifted slowly along the Nile at sunset, their lanterns casting golden reflections on the water.
