Glamorous, intimate and unmistakably Egyptian, Abercrombie & Kent owned Zein Nile Chateau was the first dahabiya of its kind — a faithful tribute to the graceful sailing vessels of the 19th century.
Today it remains one of the Nile’s most captivating sights: slender, low-slung, beautifully wood-clad and crowned with billowing sails. Designed for only 12 guests and offered exclusively for private charter, it can slip into places larger river cruisers simply can’t reach, turning each journey into a bespoke exploration. This is Nile sailing as it was meant to be.
