✦ Why the Nawara

The Newest Jewel on the Nile

Nawara launched in 2024 as one of the newest ultra-luxury Dahabiyas on the Nile. With only 12 cabins & suites, a heated swimming pool, mini gym, chef-led cooking classes and exclusive Jacuzzi Suites, it's a boutique floating sanctuary where timeless Nile horizons meet contemporary elegance.

Heated Pool & Sundeck

A rare luxury on a Dahabiya — a heated swimming pool with cushioned loungers, sunshades and a plunge bar overlooking the rural Nile banks.

Chef-Led Cooking Class

Join our chef for a hands-on Egyptian cooking session using fresh local produce. Included in every cruise — and one of the most-loved moments onboard.

Private Village Tours

Walk through authentic Egyptian villages like Bisaw — meet farmers, see daily life, and experience rural Egypt far from the tourist trail.

Jacuzzi Suites

Two 40+ m² suites with private Jacuzzi, separate living area, panoramic glass doors and double vanity — the ultimate romantic retreat.
