Luxury Nile Cruise Between Luxor and Aswan
4 min read
The Azhar is a handcrafted lateen-sail dahabiya cruising the most beautiful stretch of the Nile, between Luxor and Aswan — intimate, unhurried and utterly private.
Sixteen guests, eight suites
Where the large cruisers carry hundreds, the Azhar takes just sixteen. Every suite has its own water-level view; the sun deck has a plunge pool, shaded lounge and dining under the stars.
Under sail on the Nile
When the wind is fair the engines fall silent and the Azhar moves as she was built to — by canvas alone. It is the Nile as travellers knew it a century ago, with the comfort of a modern luxury boat.
The temples of Upper Egypt
Between Luxor and Aswan you visit Edfu, Kom Ombo, Gebel el-Silsila and El Kab, mooring on quiet islands the big ships cannot reach — often with the sites to yourself.
