    The Experience

    Princess Farida is a luxury dahabiya built for travelers who want the Nile at a slower, quieter pace. With only eight suites over two decks, the atmosphere is intimate and the service is personal. Six suites measure 22 sqm, three with twin beds and three with king size beds, each with a private bathroom. Two Royal Suites offer 35 sqm, a king size bed and a private terrace. Between temple visits you can relax in the lounge, enjoy the bar, stretch out on the sun deck under a private pergola, or use the open-air gym. Sail between Luxor and Aswan with visits to Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae, guided by an Egyptologist. Meals are served on board, and the route stops at quiet islands and villages that larger ships cannot reach.

    What Our Guests Say

    Voices From the Journey

    Real stories from travelers who trusted us with their journey through Egypt.

    "I'll be honest I almost canceled this trip after reading so many conflicting opinions online. From my very first email, Hamdy patiently answered every question without ever making me feel pressured to book. When we landed in Cairo, Magdy was already waiting outside arrivals, and within an hour I realized I'd spent weeks worrying for nothing. Looking back, what I'll remember most isn't just the pyramids, but how easy the entire journey felt."
