Embrace 1 Dahabiya

Embrace 1 is a modern three-deck dahabiya (maiden voyage 2021) with 13 luxury cabins and panoramic glass “aquarium” lounge—perfect for private groups to sail the Nile in Egyptian-Bedouin style.

Embrace 1 is our newest addition. Her very special maiden voyage was in November 2021 to Qena to visit the Dendera and Abydos temples. Embrace is a modern style of dahabiya that maintains Egyptian and Bedouin design. Being a larger dahabiya with three decks, she is perfect for small groups, extended family, and friends to enjoy their trip on the Nile to discover Egypt and what she has to offer, the beautiful people, and their culture. There are 13 luxurious cabins, with 5 very large suites, 1 master suite with a terrace, 4 with balconies, and 2 twin-bed suites with terraces. All the suites also have large windows, so you always feel as if you are in an infinity room. There are also six large standard cabins with large windows with the same feeling, but you are closer to the water of the Nile. All rooms have air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and a bathroom. A large salon on the bottom deck is available to provide you with a relaxing and divine setting to enjoy reading, relaxation, playing board games, meditation, and workshop space for all types of groups. If things couldn't get any better, the top deck is the spacious sundeck. You will find sunbeds and seating areas to enjoy the sun or relax in the shade. Buffet dining area with views of the Nile at sunset and sunrise that take your breath away. The pièce de resistance is our aquarium room. This room is fully glassed, so you can feel outside, but inside, this room is set up for meditation, yoga, workshops, or the dining area, with the weather being cold and windy. There are also several different Egyptian and Bedouin-style seating areas around the dahabiya to sit back and enjoy the view of Egypt and life on the Nile River.
