Le Nil
Malouka offers a warm, nostalgic charm, with cabins reflecting the comfort of traditional dahabiyas. Life on board is calm and peaceful: mornings drift by on the water, lulled by palm trees, and afternoons are devoted to savouring tea in the shade of the sails. Although smaller than our newer boats, Malouka offers travellers a deeply intimate atmosphere, the chance to feel at home on the water, and to experience the Nile in a peaceful, authentic and unforgettable way.
The dahabiya has 2 panoramic suites and 8 luxury cabins.
A crew of more than 15 people will ensure your stay on board is a success.
The 150m2 wooden deck, topped with canopies, is where you'll spend your moments of rest, with armchairs and sofas where you can enjoy tea, for example.
A table is set for outdoor dining while you admire the magnificent landscapes unfolding before you.
The convivial atmosphere on board, given the small number of passengers, means meals are often shared together at the communal table, or at small tables if you prefer to keep your privacy. The simple, refined meals are typically Egyptian.
The two panoramic suites overlooking the Nile are the pinnacle of Nour El Nil's luxury accommodation. With sweeping views of the Nile, an immaculate design and a king-size bed, they are the most opulent way to sail the river.
Fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed river views and a king-size bed, they allow for sailing in sumptuous style. The bathroom includes a shower.
The deluxe rooms offer plenty of space to relax, while three sliding windows let in the beauty of the Nile. They can be configured with king-size or twin beds, feature large windows with unobstructed Nile views, bedside reading lamps and ample storage. The bathroom also includes a shower.
You will discover the region’s landmark sites: Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan and many others.
You will walk through villages and orchards, meeting Egyptians going about their daily lives.
