What makes Three Pyramids Dahabiya different

Three Pyramids is a dahabiya for travelers who want to swim. The pool sits alongside the sun deck, so a hot afternoon on the river can be spent in the water rather than under an umbrella – something most traditional sailing boats cannot offer.

It is a short and easy trip to plan: 3-4 nights, with departures on Fridays from Aswan and on Mondays from Luxor, and boarding in Esna or Aswan. Cabins have a private bathroom and a mini bar, and WiFi is available on board, as is a small gift shop. If you are torn between a classic dahabiya and the comforts of a cruise ship, Three Pyramids is a good middle ground.
