Private Nile Dahabiya Charter
4 min read
Take the entire Azhar — all eight suites — for your family, friends or celebration, with the itinerary, table and pace shaped entirely around your party.
The whole vessel, yours
A private dahabiya charter gives you sixteen berths across eight suites, a sun deck with a plunge pool, and the run of the boat. No other guests, no fixed schedule — only your group and the crew.
It suits multi-generational families, groups of friends, wellness retreats, and special occasions where privacy and space matter.
A dedicated crew and chef
Your charter includes a crew of ten to fourteen, a chef cooking to your table, and a private Egyptologist guide who travels only with your party.
Dietary needs, meal times and daily plans are all arranged around you.
Your Nile, your pace
Choose your embarkation and duration, linger at a temple, moor early to swim, or dine ashore under the stars. On a private charter the rhythm of the days is entirely your own.
