YOUR PRIVATE NILE RESIDENCE

The Zen welcome

The whole boat.
Your own journey.

The Al Shaer family’s hospitality meets a personal journey between Luxor and Aswan. Gather family, friends or a private travel group, then shape the charter around your preferred dates and interests.

Warm timber, soft fabrics and river-facing spaces set the mood aboard. Share dinner beside the Nile, settle beneath the rooftop canopy or unwind in the Jacuzzi.

The proposed group arrangement is 25–32 guests. Your written charter proposal confirms final capacity, room allocation, duration, itinerary, availability, inclusions and rates.

Life aboard Zen Dahabiya

Step inside the cabins and restaurant, then take in the river from the open rooftop. Two enclosed accommodation levels sit within the vessel’s 48.00 m overall length, as labelled on the supplied elevation.
