If you are looking for a unique Nile cruise experience, one where you can experience exquisite routes and the Nile River in a whole new level of luxury that would definitely blow your mind, then a “white queen” Nile cruise will have to be your choice.
Merit Dahabiya Nile cruise is considered one of the most luxurious dahabiya out there that would not only let you have a distinctive experience of the Egyptian culture but also a luxurious stay on board.
Merit Dahabiya has a modern design that enhances a welcoming environment and a satisfying occurrence for the eyes of the guests. The boat also features an emergency handling system.
Merit Dahabiya offers a unique chance to visit picturesque local villages and idyllic islands. You will visit many unforgettable sites along the Nile River between Luxor and Aswan, sites that are unique to Dahabiyas which you won’t find on large cruises; such as Al-Ramadi Island where you can have dinner on the island then get entertained with a lovely unique Rababa Egyptian show then have an overnight alongside the nature.
You will also get a chance to meet up with locals and spend the day perceiving how they truly live. Another exquisite adventure provided by the cruise is at Hor Diab island where you can have a great swimming experience in the purest and clearest Nile water in the warm weather.

As a French woman traveling alone I asked Daniel for help getting from Luxor to Aswan. I just wanted a drive that would allow me to visit some the Edfou... read more and Kom Ombo.
Daniel provided me with a great driver for a reasonable price. I felt completely secured and fully enjoyed my day ! (Which was not the case for other people I met in Aswan, who paid a higher price and felt so unsecure that they decided not to stop for visits)
I also appreciated that he didn’t try to provide me with a guide since I didn’t ask for one.
Once arrived in Aswan, Daniel granted me with great advice on what to visit and when and was also able to offer other services to visit Philae and Abu Simbel.
I got Daniel’s contact from a couple I met in Luxor, and I would definitely recommend his services to others.
Thank you again !
