About this docked boat rental
Dahabiya ‘Dream’ is the name of our traditional Nile cruise boat and Explore travel and Cruises want you to have the holiday of a lifetime by experiencing the magic of Egypt in a special and memorable way. During the 19th Century, gentry visitors travelled the Nile on luxurious private yachts known as Dahabiyas. These boats are beautifully crafted wooden sailing ships and allow you to experience the Nile in a nostalgic way. To be called a genuine Dahabiya the boat must have no engine and so sailing on Dream is peaceful and vibration free and is truly a unique river cruise experience. Our company owned and family run Dahabiya ‘Dream’ has been hand crafted to create an authentic sail boat as used by travellers and explorers discovering the wonders and mysteries of the Nile. This Luxury Dahabiya Dream Nile cruise itinerary combines historical and mystical sightseeing with the peace and tranquillity of a Nile cruise as you dreamt it should be. You will visit all the famous sites including the Valley of Kings and Karnak Temple as well as others not on the main tourist map such as El Kab and some of the remote beautiful islands along the Nile. With all your meals and soft drinks, tea and coffee included we want you to relax and enjoy the experience as you make your own journey of discovery on this truly luxury Nile cruise.

We had a fantastic time on our recent cruise on the Dahabiya Dream. Of course we enjoyed the amazing sights of the many temples and tombs that we visited, but what absolutely made our holiday was the welcome and hospitality we received. Without exception every single member of the crew and staff on board seemed to go out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and safe. The boat is classic but comfortable and the food was very good. Any specific dietary requests were willingly catered for. A beautiful country and lovely people. Don't hesitate to go if you're considering it. We had the time of our lives and always felt safe.

we had a wonderful holiday on Dahabiya Dream this Christmas. We feel we were treated like honoured guests rather than paying clients. From our arrival in Cairo and trip to the Pyramids to the magical Dahabiya cruise, everything surpassed our expectations (which were high!).
The star of the trip has to be the exquisite “Dream” and her crew. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them, from the unsurpassable Mahmoud, our superlative guides Mo and Ahmed and the magnificent crew. The food was amazing, and the perfect blend of the familiar and new things to try. Each meal was presented by Hassan the fabulous chef. We spent much of the cruise debating with our fellow passengers who would be taking him home with them at the end of the trip! Hamada was the perfect host, and knew how each of us liked our tea/coffee by the end of the first day. The whole crew were a delight and always had smiles on their faces. Every detail was considered, even down to the human-held bannister for the gangplank! They certainly are the Dream Team!
We found the Egyptians to be delightful people, very caring and with a similar sense of humour to our own. We definitely recommend this holiday to anyone wants to Sail the Nile in Style

Relaxing and peaceful. The crew was wonderful and made us feel special. Mahmoud, our boat manager could not do enough for us. Take a tip, go when it is your birthday!
The tours were well organised and we loved our guide Ahmed. Egypt is sensational and this way of seeing it is very special. Thank you to everyone.

Wonderful! Absolutely Wonderful. There's not much point repeating everything that's already been said as it is abundantly clear that everyone who has been on this boat has had the same experience. We cannot praise the Explore team highly enough from the moment we booked the trip to the moment we returned. Professionalism and attention to detail shone through at every level. All the information provided beforehand was detailed, relevant and thorough and every element of the trip itself was very well organised and although all transfers to all the sites were arranged, it never once felt like we were being herded about as we had our own dedicated Egyptologist on hand to guide us through any level of detail we wanted. The itinerary was flexible and there was plenty of time to relax on board to enjoy and marvel at the scenery as we sailed. The crew were fantastic as was the food and service. The balance was perfect. Dawn and I also took the optional flight to Abu Simbel and that was also extremely well organised. I joined TA originally to quiz other posters when we were thinking about booking as it seemed almost too good to be true but we were thrilled with our holiday and loved every minute!
