À vivre

Propulsé par la douceur des vents, vous découvrirez de nombreux trésors archéologiques, des déserts magnifiques et des panoramas à couper le souffle.
Cette embarcation de bois à fond plat (coque en fer), aux voiles latines rouges et blanches si caractéristiques, longue de 51 mètres et large de 8,25 mètres est la copie conforme des bateaux qui côtoyaient ceux des pharaons à l'époque où le Nil était la seule voie permettant de communiquer et de commercer.

Layout

Built in 2020, Agatha is the newest of all Nour El Nil dahabiyas. Guests appreciate the new finishes and unique touches that its designer and owner, Eleonore, has added to this splendid vessel.

Onboard you'll find two panoramic suites and 8 deluxe cabins, as well as outstanding cuisine throughout your stay.
The crew — made up of the captain, known as the “rais”, three sailors, a cook, his assistant and a steward — looks after your comfort and well-being.
The 150m2 wooden deck, topped with canopies, shelters your moments of rest, where armchairs and sofas invite you to enjoy a cup of tea, for instance.
A table is set for open-air dining as you take in the magnificent landscapes around you.
Given the small number of passengers, the convivial atmosphere onboard means meals are often shared together at the communal table, or at smaller tables if you prefer to keep your privacy. The simple, refined meals are typically Egyptian.

Rooms

The two panoramic suites aboard the Agatha represent the pinnacle of Nour El Nil's luxury accommodation. With sweeping views over the Nile, immaculate design and a king-size bed, this is the most opulent way to sail the river.
Fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows offering uninterrupted river views and a king-size bed, they allow guests to sail in considerable style. The bathroom includes a shower.
Agatha's deluxe rooms are Nour El Nil's most spacious standard cabins, offering ample space to relax, while three sliding windows let in the beauty of the Nile.
Agatha's cabins can be configured with a king-size bed or twin beds, and feature large windows with unobstructed Nile views, bedside reading lamps and generous storage. The bathroom also includes a shower.
