Aboard the Sonesta Amirat you will find a combination of luxury and privacy that recalls the golden age of tourism in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century, updated with modern amenities for your maximum comfort.

Avoiding crowds while visiting historical sites in Egypt is possible! A Dahabiya cruise is the most authentic and charming way without renouncing to comfort, to discover the Ancient Egypt - in our opinion. This lovely small charming sale boat will take you to exclusive sites where the majority of the cruises don't stop. A unique experience not to be missed!
