SPECIAL OFFERS

Save more than £350 per person when booking this superb Spring special promotion combining a 7 nights deluxe dahabiya Nile cruise on the Um Kalthoum dahabiya (or one of its 3 sister dahabiyas) and a 4 night stay at the very comfortable Sofitel el Gezirah Hotel in Cairo. This classic journey will take you to the pyramids of Giza and enable you to discover the magnificent archaeological treasures along the River Nile at leisurely pace.

A 7 night Dahabiya cruise offers a completely different experience from a regular Nile cruise and will enable you, and a small group of fellow travellers, to sail on the Nile at a leisurely pace largely removed from the hustle and bustle of modern touring. En route, your Dahabiya will visit small islands, local villages, and Pharaonic sites that are often missed by the larger Nile cruises, enabling you to experience an Egypt that has long been removed from the tourist radar. The Om Kalthoum Dahabiya, together with her three identical sister dahabiyas (Eva Peron, Grace Kelly, Agatha Christie), was launched in 2009 and offers an extremely relaxing, intimate, and flexible alternative approach to cruising on the River Nile.

Twin-masted dahabiyas were the preferred mode of Nile transport for 'grand tourists' up to 100 years ago, and have been likened to the 'Riads' of the Nile. ‘Our’ deluxe modern Dahabiyas pay homage to those of old yet feature luxurious modern comforts including: air-conditioned cabins; spacious sun-decks; large hot-tub Jacuzzis; à la carte dining; and an impressive crew to guest ratio. The 8 cabin Om Kalthoum dahabiya offers some of the largest cabins of any dahabiya and is on a full board basis.

The offer is valid for new bookings on arrivals from 30 Jan 2012 to 28 April, 2012 (excluding 6 to 14 April, 2012). For a detailed itinerary and full details about this special offer contact Corinthian Travel. International flights are not included.
