Description

Experience a more gracious, graceful and traditional luxury Nile Cruise with the sedate majesty of a Dahabeya cruise. Jaz Yakouta will take you back in time to the gentler era when the elite and sophisticated travelers cruised on the Nile in style.

Pleasure barges have always featured prominently in Egypt’s history. Cleopatra and Julius Caesar spent nine months sailing around Egypt. Ottoman officials insisted on the grandeur of the Dahabeya cruise for their journeys. European visitors from the 1860s onwards preferred to hire a Dahabeya at Cairo for a luxury Nile cruise at a civilized pace. Now you too can explore Egypt inelegance.

The name Dahabeya is Arabic for “golden boat” after the gilded railings and fittings that adorned these magnificent pleasure craft. Modern replicas of these classically elegant vessels use the traditional configuration of two lateen sails to assist propulsion, so speed of travel along the Nile is slower, more relaxed and more contemplative giving you more time to take in the sights as they gently glide by and really appreciate your surroundings. Jaz Yakouta revived the heyday of luxury Nile cruises with the addition of modern comforts and conveniences.

With décor of elegant luxury, Jaz Yakouta features six luxurios cabins that will give you a real taste of intimate luxury and relaxed privacy.
