Zekryaat Dahabiya Cruise Tour has the original features of a Nile boat from the 19th century. With seats and daybeds, the lovely outdoor top deck provides breathtaking views of the Nile, riverbank communities, and historical landmarks. There’s a vintage vibe to the little bungalows and cabins below deck.. At the front of the boat is the cozy salon with sofas, a large dining table, and a small library. Dahabiya Zekrayaat is big enough to sail the Nile comfortably and small enough to drop anchor in less visited spots, picturesque and quiet, far away from crowded spots.
