Know Before You Go

You will enjoy the most luxurious hospitality while exploring new destinations in Egypt through unique itineraries. You will visit many unforgettable sites along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, sites unique to Dahabiyas and not available on major cruises, such as El Hagz Island, Bassaw Village, and Gebel El-Silsila. You will not only be able to visit the incredible attractions between Luxor and Aswan, but you will also be able to experience the real local life in each city you visit and visit their local markets. In the village of Bassaw, you will visit a local's home and stay with him and his family. You will experience a day in Egyptian life and see how they really live.

Your meals on Eyaru will also have the Egyptian spirit in them. During your stay, all your meals will be real authentic Egyptian dishes. While visiting the local markets, you can even buy some fresh ingredients for your dinner that evening or buy some fish and fire up the grill on the patio! You will fully experience the Egyptian experience. It is also possible to attend live cooking sessions from your dinner and learn local recipes that you can try on your return home.

Eyaru can be enjoyed all year round because of Eyaru's main feature, his pergola. The pergola closes on part of the glass terrace. So, there is no need to stay indoors during the cold months and miss the picturesque landscapes of the Nile during your stay. That’s why Eyaru is the only Dahabiya that sails from Luxor to Aswan and vice versa.

Eyaru has no engines; it is towed remotely by a tugboat, so you never feel any disturbing sounds or vibrations during your trip. And for the first time on the Nile, Eyaru’s staff are staying overnight on the tug, so you can enjoy complete privacy on board.
