Musk Dahabiya

The elegant Musk Dahabiya has been designed to deliver a sophisticated and quality Nile cruise experience and combines traditional 19th-century architectural style with British colonial-influenced contemporary interiors.

Offering five-night cruises from Luxor to Aswan and seven-night sailings from Luxor to Luxor on a shared cabin basis, this 40-meter-long twin-masted dahabiya has a maximum occupancy of 12 guests and will take you and your fellow passengers on a magical Nile journey to discover the incredible ancient Egyptian antiquities. While sailing aboard the Musk Dahabiya much of your time will be spent on the attractive split-level sundeck, either relaxing on a sun lounger or sitting in the shade on a comfortable sofa or armchair. This is the perfect vantage point from which to observe the breathtaking and ever-changing Nile landscapes. As you unwind, refreshments, including fresh juices, coffee, and seasonal fruits, are available at the Wheel House Bar.

Below deck, the Musk Dahabiya’s six ensuite guest cabins (three with double beds, three with twin beds) lead off from a central corridor that brings you to the dining room and lounge with its comfy seating and smart TV. Guest cabins (15 to 16 sqm in area) are decorated in a soothing palette of pistachio green and eggshell-white and have polished dark wood floors as well as ceilings with exposed beans. All cabins come with picture windows, high-quality bed linens, a minibar, a safety deposit box and individually controlled air-conditioning. The ensuite bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers, luxury toiletries, washbasins and showers.

Meals aboard the Musk are served on deck or in the cosy dining room – depending on the season. Breakfast is always a buffet, while for lunch and dinner, a set menu is served. Guests should be aware the Musk Dahabiya sails under canvas when the wind permits but is pulled by a tugboat at other times.
