The sailing vessel "LA ROSE" is built for the pleasure of those who want to experience this magic river in the most original and pleasant way. The word "Dahabiya" means "the golden boat"! Of all the types of boats on the Nile, we offer the longest sailing time during the day while sailing between Luxor and Aswan. This gives you more time to get unique insights into ancient and modern Egypt outside the big cities. The Dahabiyas, which aim to cover the distance in less than a week, are almost always towed by tug and sail at night.
LA ROSE proudly employs a crew of over 40 Egyptians, all of whom have been hired and trained by the owners. Our crew is our family (many of them literally so) and their goal is to make you feel that you are also part of the family. Providing a combination of impeccable service and authentic personality, they will leave you feeling both pampered and genuinely cared for.
On board our Dahabeya, gastronomy is a celebration of flavour and culinary art. Our ideally located restaurant offers the unique experience of enjoying every meal on the sundeck, where tantalising aromas mingle with the gentle breeze of the Nile.
The chef on board is a master of Oriental and Nubian cuisine. From spicy mezzes to delicious grilled meats, each meal is a work of art, a harmonious fusion of tradition and modernity.
