A private voyage through timeless Egypt

Unhurried and personal

Your luxury Nile cruise

Nubia is a traditional dahabeya sailing boat, designed and built with love as our family’s private retreat. We’ve filled it with vintage furniture, original artwork, and bespoke fittings to give every cabin a unique, personal touch.

  • Your floating retreat

    Designed for intimacy on the Nile

    Handcrafted and inspired by Nubian architecture, Nubia is an exclusive six bedroom Nile charter for your private escape. Blend the textiles and art of timeless Egyptian craftsmanship with understated elegance and modern comfort.

  • The luxury of time

    The rhythm of wind and current

    Savour the rarest luxury of all — time with your loved ones. Enjoy slow river sailing, peaceful moments on the shady deck, the gentle splash of waves, and the clink of ice in a chilled drink. Your private Nile cruise moves at your pace.

  • Flavours of Egypt

    Home-cooked by our personal chef

    Chef Hosny has been with our family for decades. His generous, communal breakfasts and dinner-time sharing plates are a local legend and the traditional Egyptian way to enjoy exquisite dishes on the divine shores of the Nile.

  • Immersive moments

    Unique experiences, rooted in place

    From the Valley of the Kings and the temples of Hatshepsut and Edfu to village visits and evening bonfires on quiet islands, your host Hegby will introduce you to the history, traditions and local communities of the Upper Nile.

  • Tailored for you

    Your every desire fulfilled

    Your small, luxury Nile cruise is yours to shape as you wish. We can design every part of it according to your wishes, from private yoga sessions on deck, to vintage wines, expert archaeologists, or your own personal masseur on board.

What our guests say

  • From the moment we stepped on board, Nubia felt less like a cruise and more like a home. The pace, the care, and the way the journey unfolded made us feel deeply connected to the Nile and to Egypt itself. It was unlike anything we’ve experienced.

    Charlotte M.

  • What stayed with me most was the slowness. Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt staged. Meals, sailing, conversations, everything flowed naturally. Nubia offers a rare way of seeing Egypt, quietly and beautifully.

    Julien R.

    Paris, France

  • The design, the atmosphere, the people, every detail felt intentional. Waking up to the Nile each morning was extraordinary, but it was the warmth on board that truly made the experience special.
