About Sonesta Amirat Dahabiya

Sonesta Amirat Dahabeya Nile Cruise opened to the public in February 2009. The Sonesta Amirat Dahabiya Nile Cruise has given travelers a Nile cruise experience that has never been seen before or since. From Luxor to Aswan, you will spend seven nights on the Nile in a setting that has been carefully made to take you back to a simpler, more polite time. Seven luxurious sleeping places include five cabins, two suites, an oriental-style outdoor jacuzzi, a large sundeck, and a stylish common area. All guests get free full board, private direct-dial phones, climate control, hair dryers, mini-bars, safe deposit boxes, plasma TVs, and movie channels in their cabins. There is a patio or balcony outside each apartment. Daily cruises down the Nile, led by knowledgeable tour guides, take people to some of Egypt's most famous landmarks, like pyramids, tombs, and ruins. This small cruise ship is part of the Sonesta Amirat Dahabeya Nile Cruise, and its combination of luxury and beauty will amaze tourists. With this small cruise ship joining the Sonesta fleet, big families or groups of friends will have the fantastic chance to go on a private trip on the Nile. The world-famous Karnak Temple, the beautiful Luxor Temple Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Valley of the Queens, the amazingly well-preserved Edfu Temple, Esna Temple, and Kom Ombu Temple, the twin temples of Abu Simbel, and the beautiful Temple of Isis at Philae are all highlights of a Nile cruise.
