A very special Nile cruise
Did you ever hear the word Dahabeeyah? Probably not, because it almost fell into oblivion. The Arabic word Dahabeeyah means "golden boat". For the boats of the kings and the nobility have been painted in golden colour they gave the boats that name. Dahabeeyahs are the slender and racy river sailing boats with two masts. Anyone who is a fan of old boats or a romantic nature will become enthusiastic. One of these well looked after boats is the "Dongola" that invites for sailing on the Nile like about 200 years ago but with any modern comfort. On board the "Dongola" the passengers experience a time-travel etween Luxor and Aswan - a lifetime adventure
