Discover the Luxury of El Bey Dahabiya A Timeless Nile Cruise Experience During Egypt’s Ottoman era, Turkish and Egyptian cultures blended beautifully, sharing words and titles. One such term is bey, meaning ‘lord’ in Turkish. Originally a title for provincial governors, it later became an honorary recognition. Though the 1952 Revolution ended its official use, Egyptians still use bey affectionately to show respect and admiration. Aboard, this legacy lives on—each of its six luxurious cabins is named after a distinguished bey.
This elegant Nile cruise offers an unforgettable journey with world-class amenities:
El Bey Dahabiya Rates are in USD per person, except during Christmas, New Year, and Easter.
This cruise blends history, luxury, and relaxation. Imagine drifting along the Nile in a vessel inspired by Egypt’s grand past, with every comfort at your fingertips. Whether soaking in the Jacuzzi or dining under the stars, El Bey offers a unique, intimate experience—perfect for couples, families, and history lovers.
