Dahabiya sailboats are specific to Egypt, built in the 19th century to enable Pashas and wealthy Egyptian merchants to easily travel around the country. Later on, they were used by adventurer travelers, archaeologists, writers (including Mark Twain) and artists who wanted to explore the Nile.
The character of Lazuli: simplicity, luxury and comfort. Available as a private charter, they're capable of accommodating 10 to 12 passengers for exclusive use, which is great for families or groups of friends. Driven by two elegant sails, the Lazuli Dahabiya allows its passengers to discover the forgotten archaeological treasures built along the Nile and meet authentic local Egyptians on their home turf.
