You will enjoy the best of Cairo and Gize , then embark on a romantic six Days on the Nile in LUXURY : Now you can sail the great river of Egypt and visit its ancient wonder in the most authentic manner possible. Travel in Style has arranged Nile cruises aboard a traditional dahabiya, the Flâneuse du Nil.

Dahabiyas are the traditional sailing vessel used since Pharaonic times to reach the farthest reaches of the empire, by river and canal. As passenger vessels, freighters, floating royal courts and excursion boats, they have long had an essential relationship with the land and people. Our dahabiya is updated with non-traditional comforts, including modern plumbing, cuisine, and a trained staff, while maintaining the essence of the dahabiya experience in keeping with Egypt’s traditions.

But the Flâneuse du Nil is more than the most authentic conveyance. It’s a different way of relating to the land you visit. You’ll experience the trip of a lifetime with the comforting assurance that you’ll leave hardly a trace of your presence on the environment. You’ll be under sail power 70 percent of the time, leaving a minimum of contaminants in the river. Water for washing and sanitary purposes is drawn from the river, treated, and treated again before being recycled. Bottled water is provided for drinking. All waste is sorted. Crew members are dispatched to clean up wherever you stop along the banks.

And that’s not all. We work to ensure an equitable encounter with Egypt and Egyptians. All of our food is purchased in the villages we visit, and we pay our crew double the prevailing rates, and provide health coverage.
.
Travel should be for the better . . . to better yourself, the places you visit, the people you encounter. Travel in Style makes it all happen with our Dahabiya voyage aboard the Flâneuse du Nil.
