Welcome to Nebyt Dahabiya .

Dahabiyas were Sailboats common in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century when the royal family and elite travelers loved to cruise the Nile in style. They rented the boats for weeks at a time, and made their way from temple to temple enjoying the river breeze. The boats had four to ten cabins, bathrooms and a host of servants. The dahabiyas are the way to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to feel the river Nile, and slowly blend in with the civilisation around the Nile River.Nebyt is one of the titles of the goddess “Hathor” that means the golden pearl. We have chosen this name for our Dahabiya in order for it to be the golden lady on the Nile and also in honor of all the great women that were part of the great history of Egypt.
