  • Sailing on a dahabiya felt like drifting through a dream—serene, slow-paced, and deeply personal. We docked beside ancient temples, stepped right into history, then returned to a boat that felt like our own floating villa. Impeccable service, peaceful atmosphere, and zero crowds. For our family, it was pure magic
