Embrace 1 Dahabiya – A Luxurious Nile Cruise Experience
Embrace 1 Dahabiya is a distinguished addition to the world of luxury Nile River cruises. She made her memorable maiden voyage in November 2021, sailing to Qena for a special visit to the iconic Dendera and Abydos temples. Blending contemporary comforts with traditional Egyptian and Bedouin design, Embrace 1 is a modern-style dahabiya that offers an intimate and cultural sailing experience.
Designed with space and comfort in mind, this elegant three-deck dahabiya is ideal for small groups, families, and friends seeking a deeper connection with Egypt’s beauty, its welcoming people, and its rich heritage. With 13 luxurious cabins, including 5 expansive suites, 1 master suite with a private terrace, and 4 suites with balconies, every guest enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by the timeless landscape of the Nile. Two twin-bed suites also feature private terraces, while six spacious standard cabins on the lower deck offer panoramic windows that bring the tranquil Nile waters even closer.
All cabins are equipped with air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and a full private bathroom, ensuring a serene and comfortable stay.
The lower deck salon offers a quiet retreat for reading, meditation, games, or hosting workshops. The crown jewel is the fully glass-enclosed Aquarium Room, ideal for yoga, relaxation, and indoor dining, especially on cooler days.
On the sun deck, guests can unwind on sunbeds or lounge in traditional Egyptian-style seating areas. Dining aboard Embrace 1 is an unforgettable experience, with buffet meals served against the backdrop of the Nile’s magnificent sunrise and sunset views.
