✦ Why the Storia

Award-Winning. A Fifth of the Crowd.

Storia is an award-winning intimate Dahabiya with only 8 cabins and suites — roughly a fifth of the guests you'd share a typical Nile cruise ship with. From the heated plunge pool on the Terrace to gourmet dinners under the stars, from private Egyptologist-led temple tours to a spa-like Moonlight Suite with an indoor glass balcony, every detail is crafted for the discerning traveller.

Only 8 Suites — Max 16 Guests

From the 28 m² Storia Luxury Cabin to the 70 m² Moonlight Suite with bathtub and indoor glass balcony, every room is a private haven overlooking the Nile.

Heated Plunge Pool & Terrace

A rare luxury on the Nile — a heated plunge pool on the Terrace with uninterrupted river views and crafted cocktails served at your lounger.

Gourmet Dining by a Master Chef

Crystalline windows frame the passing Nile as seasonal menus and Egyptian-themed dinners are served by your personal waiter.

Private Egyptologist-Guided Tours

Skip the crowds at Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Philae with a dedicated Egyptologist accompanying you throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Storia Nile Dahabiya different?
Storia is an award-winning intimate Dahabiya with only 8 cabins and suites, a heated plunge pool on the Terrace, gourmet dining crafted by a master chef, and private Egyptologist-guided temple tours. It's one of the smallest and most exclusive Dahabiyas on the Nile.
How many cabins does Storia have?
8 accommodations in total: 4 Storia Luxury Cabins (28 m²), 2 Polaris Suites (60 m²) and 2 Moonlight Suites (70 m²) — the ultimate romantic retreat with indoor glass balcony and bathtub. Maximum capacity is 16 guests.
What is included in the cruise price?
Full-board gourmet dining, Egyptologist-guided excursions, entrance fees to every site mentioned in the program, private transfers, and all onboard services including soft drinks. Alcoholic beverages, gratuities, flights and the Egyptian visa are not included.
Is Storia suitable for families and honeymooners?
Absolutely. The intimate size (16 guests maximum), plunge pool, Storia Salon and larger suites make it ideal for both couples and small family groups. The crew is happy to arrange kid-friendly meals or a private romantic dinner on request.
Which direction should I choose — Luxor to Aswan, or Aswan to Luxor?
The 5-day Luxor → Aswan program departs Mondays and finishes in Aswan (ideal before flying out of Aswan or continuing to Abu Simbel). The 4-day Aswan → Luxor program departs Fridays and finishes in Luxor. Both cover the same highlights — just in reverse order.
Do I need a visa for Egypt?
Most nationalities require a tourist visa. You can usually apply for an e-visa online before travel, or obtain a visa on arrival at major airports. Our team is happy to advise based on your nationality.
What should I pack?
Lightweight breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, high-factor sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes for temple visits, a swimsuit, and a camera. Add a light jacket for cooler evenings between November and February.
