Dahabiya Loulia
Description
Loulia is named after the Dahabiya British journalist Robert Hichens used on his trip through Egypt in the 1890s. A cruise aboard the Loulia could have come straight out of the pages of his book Egypt and its Monuments, published in 1908. You’ll see fabulous ancient monuments and sites others don’t see. Enjoy the rhythm of life on the Nile from a deckchair on the half-shaded sun deck. Walk through fields, visit local markets, villages, small islands and many other scenic spots. Below decks there is a lovely salon and lounge area styled with a dining table and comfortable sofas; to relax after a day of sightseeing.
