Choosing the GAIA means choosing tranquility. This traditional wooden ship takes you to the most beautiful places along the Nile, in total comfort.
Because we have a close relationship as a preferred partner of this Dahabiya, they set aside a select number of spots especially for our travelers. This ensures you can always secure a place on this exclusive gem. With only 8 cabins, this small-scale Dahabiya is a true dream. On board, you can enjoy a cozy lounge, a charming restaurant, a sun deck with a small pool, and even an elevator.
Take a look for yourself and see how wonderful a trip on the water looks!
Silence and relaxation on the water
No rushing or pushing at an overcrowded breakfast buffet, just waking up quietly with a good cup of coffee on the deck. As you peacefully sip your coffee, you watch the palm trees and green shores pass by along the calm waters of the Nile. And the only thing you hear? The soft splashing of the water against the boat.
"That feeling of having the place entirely to yourself in the morning is simply pure bliss." ~ Louise, Egypt expert.
Unique docking spots
The big advantage of a Dahabiya? You dock at unique spots that massive cruise ships cannot even reach. At iconic, busier attractions like Luxor or Philae, the GAIA Dahabiya intentionally docks a bit further away from the crowds. This lets you avoid the hustle and bustle, though these famous locations will naturally still be busy.
Colors that pop off the walls
You only truly understand how impressive ancient Egypt was when you stand inside a thousands-of-years-old tomb yourself. In the Valley of the Kings, you will be amazed: intense royal blue and gold leaf that still pop off the walls after thousands of years. Extra special: with Caractère and the GAIA, you visit two more tombs as standard than with other travel providers and boats, allowing you to experience this impressive heritage even more intensely.
Warm evenings under a starry sky
After the sun slowly sinks behind the golden-yellow desert hills, the deck turns into the coziest spot on the ship. A cool drink, delicious food in the open air, and lovely dining under a breathtaking starry sky.
For this trip, you can expect a starting price of €7500 per person. Think of it as your ticket to a week of pure enjoyment on the water, without thinking about daily life for even a single second.
