Description
Embark on an extraordinary vacation experience aboard the Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya. Cruise along the Nile with Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya, renowned as one of the finest Dahabiya Nile Cruises, and uncover the authenticity and refinement of Egypt in a unique manner. This graceful sailboat is a contemporary reproduction of the sacred bark of the Pharaohs. Lazuli’s fleet mirrors its ancient predecessors, boasting twin-masted vessels that leisurely traverse the Nile, preserving Lazuli’s essence: Simplicity, Luxury, and Comfort.
The Lazuli Dahabiya offers passengers the opportunity to explore forgotten archaeological treasures lining the Nile’s banks and interact with local communities in their villages, engaging in their daily activities. Onboard, the cabins are elegantly simple, yet stylish, equipped with private bathrooms.
Much of the leisure time between excursions is spent on the upper deck, where guests can admire the timeless landscapes conducive to contemplation and relaxation. Here, they can savor dishes prepared with care by the chef, accompanied by music and the soothing sounds of the riverbank, or simply indulge in the joy of idleness.
As night falls, the Lazuli Dahabiya offers a unique atmosphere with dinner served on deck by candlelight under the stars or on an island amidst palm trees.
Lazuli, with its attentive yet unobtrusive staff and Egypt specialists as guides, invites passengers to embark on a journey of new emotions aboard its vessels, aptly named “Golden” (in Arabic, Dahabiya means ‘Golden’). Lazuli cruises are fully privatized for couples, families, or groups of friends, offering a luxurious experience that unveils the genuine essence of Egypt.
All Dahabiyas are equipped with solar energy for onboard water and electricity, Wi-Fi internet access, DVD players and video projectors, air conditioning, and softened water available at any time.

Tour Itinerary
Pick up from a hotel or airport in Aswan, visit of Philae temple, center for the cult of the goddess Isis.
This temple was moved by the UNESCO between 1972 & 1980 to save it from the Nile water. The romantic and majestic aura surrounding the Isis temple complex on the island of Philae has been luring pilgrims for thousands of years. The ruins were one of Egypt’s legendary tourist attractions.
Transfer to the Dahabieh.
First lunch on board while cruising to Herdiab.
Dinner & overnight on board.
Breakfast on board while cruising to Kom Ombo to visit the Temple dedicated to both Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the hawk.
Kom Ombo temple, is standing on a promontory at a bend in the Nile, where in ancient times sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the river bank, the temple of Kom Ombo is more precisely the dual temple of Sobek (local crocodile god) and Haroeris. The sandstone temple dates from Ptolemaic times.
Lunch while cruising to Djebel Silsila on the west bank of the river is the Speos of Horemheb, a rock-hen chapel dedicated to pharaoh Horemheb (1323-1295BC) and seven deities, including the local god Sobek.
Visit the temple of the Horemheb era and the ancient quarry where the temple stones were extracted.
Breakfast while cruising to Bassaw, the old village of fishers on the Nile.
Stop in the small village of Bassaw, deserted by tourism. These places allow a direct contact devoid of all mercantile considerations. (Possibility to try the authentic way, that the ancient Egyptians used for fishing).
After lunch, visit Edfu temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. The temple of Horus at Edfu’s the most completely preserved Egyptian temple. One of the last great Egyptian attempts at monument building on a grand scale, the temple dominates the west-bank town, although Edfu’s more modest structures crowd in on its enclosure wall. Modern Edfu, a center for sugar and pottery is a very friendly place.
Breakfast while cruising to Esna.
Departure by car to Luxor.

The Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya is one of the most peaceful and luxurious ways to experience Egypt. From the moment we boarded, I was in awe of the craftsmanship of the boat. The service was impeccable, and it felt like every detail was taken care of. The excursions to local villages provided a rare glimpse into Egyptian life, and the peaceful evenings spent on deck with nothing but the sounds of the Nile made this an unforgettable journey. If you’re looking for comfort, history, and tranquility, this is the trip to take.

A peaceful escape like no other. Cruising along the Nile on the Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya was pure bliss. The entire experience felt so intimate, with a focus on luxury and relaxation. The onboard staff treated us like royalty, and I truly enjoyed the leisurely pace of the cruise. The fact that we were able to explore hidden gems along the Nile made it even more special. Dinner on the deck under the stars was a beautiful touch, and I’m still dreaming about that view!

What an adventure! From the moment we boarded the Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya, I knew this would be a special trip. The boat is beautifully crafted, and the crew made us feel right at home. Each day brought a new archaeological treasure to discover, and it was so relaxing to spend evenings on deck under the stars. The food, the music, the views… all of it combined into an extraordinary vacation. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone seeking a slower-paced, luxurious way to experience Egypt.

Lazuli King Farouk Dahabiya is a hidden gem! My trip along the Nile was absolutely magical. The elegant boat feels like a step back in time, but with all the modern comforts. The crew was so attentive, and we got to see some of Egypt’s most amazing sights that you simply can’t access on a typical cruise. The food was exceptional, and the peaceful atmosphere on deck made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this for anyone seeking an authentic and luxurious Nile cruise.
