Cairo to Aswan · Arab Republic of Egypt
The Nile, Privately
النيل
The pyramids before the gates open, a restored sailing dahabiya down the river, and Egyptologists who answer to your family alone. The grand tour, returned to its proper grandeur.
The Journey
Egypt rewards privacy more than almost anywhere on earth, and gives it to almost no one. We change that. You stand before the Pyramids in the hour before they open to the world, descend into chambers normally sealed, and read the river the way it was always meant to be read — slowly, from its own water.
Your dahabiya is a restored sailing vessel of the kind that carried the nineteenth century’s great travellers, crewed for your family alone. By day, temples opened privately; by night, the lateen sails and a chef’s table on deck. The scholars travelling with you are among the finest of their generation.
