Dahabiya cruises glide across fewer but allow travelers more time to explore generally less crowded and culturally richer sites, often docking directly in sites that larger boats cannot access.
Dahabiyas are distinguished by traditional yet luxurious pseudo-locations with style, stunning views from large windows, and intimate, personalized services away from larger, crowded ships.
