Sail into the heart of ancient Egypt aboard the Movenpick SB Feddya, a boutique dahabiya that brings together traditional Nile sailing and dependable comfort. Carrying only a small number of guests between Luxor and Aswan, the Feddya offers the kind of quiet, personal dahabiya Nile cruise that larger ships simply cannot. Explore the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo without the crowds, relax on the open sun deck as the Nile Valley drifts by, and moor beside peaceful islands for swimming and sunsets. Attentive crew, freshly cooked meals and an unhurried pace make the Movenpick SB Feddya a superb choice for travellers who value calm, character and authentic Egyptian hospitality on the water.
