Cruise the Nile in Style and Comfort Aboard a Replica of an Ancient Sailboat
In ancient times, dahabiehs (traditional lanteen-rigged sailboats) transported people and goods up and down the Nile propelled solely by the wind.
Today you can enjoy a quiet, peaceful cruise experience aboard Abercrombie & Kent’s Zein Nile Chateau, a modern-day dahabieh that combines serenity and space with elegance and luxury. Due to its compact size it can dock anywhere along the river and is ideal for families and small groups of friends traveling together.
The first dahabieh built to international luxury standards contains four spacious cabins and two suites decorated with motifs inspired by Egyptian history and culture The top-of-the-line Farouk Suite located on the upper deck is surrounded by panoramic windows offering superb views of the passing scene. Influences from Egypt’s royal past are reflected in the interior decor including an original hand-woven rug, a replica of a family letter sent by Egypt’s King Farouk to his mother, the Queen, and family photos.
