 Verified ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Une expérience exceptionnelle sur le Swan Dahabiya Nous avons passé un séjour absolument magnifique à bord du Swan Dahabiya entre Louxor et Assouan. Tout s’est parfaitement déroulé du début à la fin. Le bateau est élégant, confortable et très bien entretenu. Les cabines sont spacieuses et agréables, et les espaces communs permettent de profiter pleinement de la beauté du Nil dans une atmosphère calme et authentique. Un grand merci à tout l’équipage pour sa gentillesse, son professionnalisme et son attention constante. Nous nous sommes sentis accueillis et pris en charge tout au long de la croisière. La restauration était excellente, avec des repas variés et de qualité. Une mention toute particulière à Ammar, dont la bonne humeur et le sourire ont contribué à rendre notre séjour encore plus agréable. Ses délicieux jus frais, préparés avec soin chaque jour, étaient un véritable plaisir et un moment que nous attendions avec impatience. Merci à lui pour son attention et sa gentillesse ! Les visites étaient parfaitement organisées et nous ont permis de découvrir les trésors de la Haute-Égypte dans les meilleures conditions. Naviguer à bord d’une dahabieh est une expérience bien plus intime et paisible qu’une grande croisière traditionnelle. Nous repartons avec de merveilleux souvenirs et recommandons sans hésiter le Swan Dahabiya à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir le Nil dans un cadre authentique, confortable et raffiné. Merci à toute l’équipe pour cette magnifique aventure ! 🇪🇬✨

 Verified Excellent Nile Cruise Experience on a Beautiful Modern Boat A lovely, modern boat that exceeded our expectations whilst still retaining the historical charm. We spent considerable time researching our options before choosing Swan, as the vessel appeared newer and well maintained with less passengers than the big cruisers. The crew were exceptionally attentive and always eager to ensure we had everything we needed throughout the journey. The meals were generous, delicious, and varied, while the fresh fruit smoothies and juices from Armar were a particular highlight. Our cabin was spacious, with a comfortable bed and effective air conditioning, making it a relaxing retreat after each day's adventures. The tours were well organised and covered all the must-see highlights along the Nile, providing a fantastic balance of sightseeing, history, and relaxation. We would highly recommend Swan to anyone considering a Nile cruise.

 Verified Une balade sur le Nil Super beau bateau un équipage fantastique au petit soin avec nous . Nous étions 6 sur le bateau en fin de saison. Très chaud sur les sites mais peu de visiteurs . Chambres très confortables et très appréciables au retour des visites . Nourriture typique et très savoureuse accompagnée de délicieux jus de fruits frais faits à la minute et chaque jour différents. Bateau très propre et très bien entretenu . L’avantage du petit bateau c’est qu’on longe vraiment les berges et donc on profite de la vie le long du fleuve

 Verified Amazing Experience on the Swan Dahabiya! My wife & I did the 3 night Nile river cruise as part of our honeymoon. Our guide Hamdy was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, communicative, supportive & quickly became a friend to us. Ammar & the entire crew were very warm, friendly & ensured we were well taken care of every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend this experience. Smooth sailing, good food & wonderful stops along the way. Thoroughly positive & we have fond memories we’ll cherish forever. We are very thankful!

 Verified Better than we could hope for We can highly recommend this trip. The staff took exceptional care of us with their genuine warmth and friendly service throughout the journey. We were truly impressed by the quality of the food, and the chef kept delighting us with creative and delicious new dishes every day. The boat itself is absolutely stunning, and honestly, we cannot think of a single negative thing to mention. Don’t hesitate to book this trip, it is absolutely worth it. We were also more than pleased with our Egyptologist guide, Hassan. Visiting these incredible monuments with him brought the history and stories of ancient Egypt vividly to life. A truly magical journey through time and Egypt.

 Verified Amazing and breathtaking! I had the most beautiful experience on this - the view and service was amazing. Most importantly what made this more amazing was- Mai Sayed who planned my experience from start to finish- communicating all the details to the staff on board and what she was booking for me. Usually I book my travel myself and do it for my job- however having someone else do it for me was worthwhile. I highly recommend and using Mai!!

 Verified La mejor experiencia a hacer en Egipto Tuvimos la oportunidad de viajar con Swan Dahabiya por nuestra luna de miel y fue una decisión muy acertada. El Dahabiya es muy bonito, bien mantenido y tiene espacios de ensueño, Ammar fue el más amable y servicial durante toda nuestra estancia, Kama y Aimen buenos cocineros, la comida fue muy variada durante todo el viaje y daban opciones para mi que no como carne. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas y limpias y todo el tiempo el staff pendiente de ti. Sin duda recomendable 100%

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent 4 days and 3 nights on the Swan Dabahiya from Aswan to Luxor and we had an amazing time. At time of booking I debated between a standard cruise ship and a Dabahiya... think no more! The intimacy provided by a Dabahiya is exponential mainly because Swan Dabahiya is only 12 cabins with 20+ people on board + staff. Jacuzzi was a treat when warm. Swan Dabahiya has recently been launched which means that it is clean, modern and extremely pleasant. The staff on board was friendly, discreet, always careful to our needs... truly amazing! Including the daily surprise juices from Araam. They even prepared a cake to share on-board to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary... Very attentive!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our journey on the Swan Dahabiya was nothing short of magical. From the moment we stepped onboard, everything felt elegant, calm, and thoughtfully curated — it was the perfect way to experience the Nile in comfort and style. The boat itself is stunning. Beautifully designed, spacious, and incredibly peaceful, it feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a cruise. Watching the Nile drift by from the deck or our room was one of the highlights of our entire trip. The rooms were immaculate, stylish, and very comfortable. They were cleaned daily, the beds were cozy, and every detail felt carefully considered. Waking up to the Nile outside our window was unforgettable. The food deserves special praise. Every meal was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious, with a great mix of Egyptian and international dishes. The staff were exceptional. Warm, professional, and always smiling, they made us feel genuinely cared for. Every request was handled immediately, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Their hospitality alone makes Swan Dahabiya stand out. The tours were perfectly organized and extremely well done. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Egypt’s history. If you are considering a Nile cruise, Swan Dahabiya is the gold standard. It combines luxury, authenticity, and warmth in a way that’s very rare
