Our guides and crew

Our crew (average number of 10 to 12 crew) come from local villages on our sailing route, and go above and beyond to make your journey special.
We have a qualified guide onboard through the cruise, available 24 hours for your assistance. They speak your language fluently and Arabic to assist communication in the villages and help you understand the culture, and to answer your questions about the natural environments we pass through on the cruise.

An Experience

Most boats now have six to 12 cabins with ensuite bathrooms. Although some boats have more than 10 cabins, we prefer mid-size as they are more sustainable. Modern dahabiya has a generator for electricity, and we are gradually incorporating more solar power in our choices of dahabiya
