Drifting down the Nile .

“When you step on the dahabiyya' Hadeel' - a two masted sailing boat with cabins, visions come to mind of a bygone age, stories from a Boys Own Adventure Book when Thomas Cook and Son arranged travel plans and pathed the way to the four corners of the globe,taking the 'foreignness' out of travel, so the traveller would be with familiar comforts yet in foreign lands.

A dahabiyya was the choice for the 19th century Grand Tourist for their Nile trip and these river-going sailboats were common in Egypt in the days of the monarchy (1920s-40s) when aristocrats and sophisticated travellers loved to cruise the Nile in style” (GB)
