I hope this showed you everything you wanted to know about the Dahabiya Nile cruise in Egypt. If there's anything I missed, just drop your question down below. If you loved this, sub here >> goaw.pl/AwesomeTube
Young man!!! As someone who has been not only around the block, but also around the block, I have to tell you that you have the natural voice for narration. In addition, the script, your transitions, your vocabulary, your imagery are superb. Second to none. Good work!!
Hello Will, Wow this was an excellent video! My husband and I are planning a trip to Egypt at the end of October. Also looking at a Nile cruise so your video was great help. Your video was so visibly pleasing and your tips great. Can’t wait to check out more of your videos. You produce the best videos I have seen on RU-vid. Thanks! Shawn
I’m so glad you found this helpful. My hope was to really show the behind-the-scenes especially because photos only show so much. Excited about your trip in October. Will you be going with Djed?
Really appreciated your video and the one on the 10-day trip. We have booked with Djed for their 14-day tour in early April and are really looking forward to it. Calgary-based so needing some warm weather. You should be getting a commission from Djed.
Traveling the Nile via Dahabiya is the only way I am considering for my future Nile cruise. Thank you for this video. It gave me another option for Dahabiya travel that’s even more authentic than the one that I had previously found with Nour El Nil. Your cruise looks like it was AMAZING!
Not critiquing, just educating. I believe you meant late 19th (late 1800s) and early 20th century (early 1900s) when you referred to the “golden age of travel.” Not the 18th and 19th centuries. I address a trivial point, in light of the wonderful info you shared with us. Supposed to go June 2020 on the Orient, so rescheduling for 2021. As an archaeologist, I cannot wait to share this trip with my husband next summer. (Know it is hot then, but it was 117 degrees where we live in Phoenix today).
Thanks for the correction Sylvia! You're going to have a fantastic time aboard the Orient which was actually the first time I sailed with Djed. Big things to look forward to next year :)
@@taispineda9369 Hey Tais! I checked in with Djed and they said they did respond back to you actually. I'm trying to get them to investigate their email server but one thing that's worth checking is your spam folder?
This reminds me of the Turkish Gulet/wooden yacht sailing along the Turkish Rivera which I sailed last June. Only 10 of us +2 crews +captain. Breakfast, lunch,tea time ,dinner included, freshly cooked. Also no shoes on board. We had 3 swimming stops each day in the Mediterranean, also a few hiking up ancient Roman ruins, st Nicholas Island. I was supposed to take Egypt tour this month, but now have to wait until next year.
Wow really seems nice.... pleasant vid to watch as well. I wandered onto this because of looking at small cruise boats on the upper Amazon. This video shows nice 'intimate' cruises are available on the Nile, as well.
This is definitely the way to go if you want to see the Nile! Good to know there’s something like this on the upper Amazon. Which company was it there?
I would definitely be weary of some of the street food that you might find. If you see them making it fresh, that’s good but it’s the ones where you don’t know how long it’s been sitting there that we stayed away from. Dukorol ahead of time is also a good idea. Also don’t drink the tap water.
Thanks for the great information! I contacted Djed Egypt about booking this cruise. The thing is, when I didn't hear back from them after a few days I wrote and asked them again. I also mentioned that I'm meeting with some people at the end of the cruise and they need to know what day to expect me in Aswan. Still nothing. At the end of the week I wrote to them again and let them know that people were pressing me for the information about when to expect me in Aswan and I couldn't answer them until I knew whether or not I would be on that cruise. Finally a week and a half later they got back to me, but only with a "We'll check and let you know." Then crickets again. The cruise looks great, but not being able to finalize any of my other travel plans until I hear back from them, and having to practically beg them before they even acknowledge that they've gotten my messages is really starting to bother me.
Yeah we did. Here’s the guideline: Nile cruise crew - $10-$15 USD per traveller per cruise day (this is shared between all of the crew except your Egyptologist). The Egyptologist is $7-$10 USD a day per traveller.
Hi Bro....can U explain to me about ticket prices for one trip traveling the traditional sailboat ( for one person )... And from one ticket what the places of destination of this boat ... Thanks for response
Hey! Yeah I can definitely try to help. Okay so if you take a look at their website www.nile-dahabiya.com/, you'll see the full pricing breakdown. For single occupancy it's 275 EUR/night so if you're going from Aswan -> Esna that's 825 EUR. For more details about the trip make sure to read my blog post here >> goingawesomeplaces.com/nile-cruise-from-luxor-aswan/
1) Where do they dock overnight? 2) Are there maps at hand so you can get an idea how far along you are, and what's coming up? 3) What's the laundry situation? 4) Any tipping guidance?
They dock right along the Nile River! They have their specific spots each night and sometimes it feels like it’s a random spot but I’m sure it’s planned. There aren’t any laundry services so you’ll need to make sure you have enough clothes. I have a full guide here: goingawesomeplaces.com/nile-cruise-from-luxor-aswan/ I also have more tips on travel in Egypt: goingawesomeplaces.com/things-to-know-before-going-to-egypt-the-travel-guide/
Tipping guideline is actually in the review article (goingawesomeplaces.com/nile-cruise-from-luxor-aswan/) but there’s more information in the travel guide about Egypt in general.
Do you have a discount code for the cruise? I see that the asking price is 190 euro per person per night for a basic cabin. While not too bad, a small discount, even 5 percent, for your subscriber would be nice.
Thank you for this video and all the information!!! I would not have known about dahabiya boats had it not been for this video. I contacted Djed and hope to be in Egypt in March 2024. Much appreciation!
We love hearing this. We’re so glad that this video made a difference and can’t wait for you to experience it all first-hand. You’re going to love it!!
@melaniesingh7208 I’d say it really depends on which cruise operator you book with. There are cheap ones and also expensive ones. The same goes for dahabiya operators.
Amazing video how much did this trip on the boat cost. I am thinking of booking this trip and another but wondering if i can get it all in one. But there are no prices on the site
Egypt is the most dangerous place for tourists in the world. Read up on the recent case of Giulio Regeni, the poor Italian university student who was abducted off the street by egypian police and ended up repeatedly tortured and homosexually raped by the local police chief, before being finally murdered and his body dumped by the same police who abducted him. The real horror is that Regeni was just one, while egyptian lawyers and activists state that at least twenty thousand young egyptians suffer a similar fate at the hands of egyptian military and police EVERY YEAR. For God's sake, do not let your young people travel to this mad, cruel, corrupt country, run by thugs and perverts. Do not go there yourself. Once the police decide to abduct you, to rob, rape or whatever, your chances of getting out alive are negligible. Read up on the Regeni case. The police lied repeatedly and refused to co-operate with international investigations. But the truth got out, in piecemeal fashion, in the end. But, the horror is in the real numbers of more than twenty thousand Egyptian Regenis who die awful deaths EVERY YEAR in this sick, and dangerous nest of perverts and thugs.
مصر ليست كذلك والدليل ان مصر يأتي لها قرابة ال 15مليون سائح من جميع أنحاء العالم هم لم تختطفهم الشرطه او يقتلونهم هم يأتون في أمان تام لأن مصر بلد أمنه ولكن إن سألت نفسك عن بلدك واي بلد آخر ستجد أن هناك خطف وقتل وريجيني هو عمل فردي لا يمثل 110مليون مصري لكن هذه ايدلوجية الغرب عندما يتعلق الأمر بالدول العربية لكن أود أن أقول لك إذهب إلى مصر وسترى بنفسك الأمن والسلام من قبل المصريين جميعهم عسكريين ومدنيين ولا تجلس خلف الهاتف وتكتب أخبار سيئه عن بلد يعيش فيه ملايين السائحين
@@ahmedelmosher386 I am sorry for you, if you are really a real person and believe that nonsense.Everything I write is based on real investigations by real people who are seriously concerned for the twenty thousand Egyptian Regeni's who suffer the same fate every year in that sick police/army pseudo-state.
