Description

The Sacred Lotus Dahabiya draws inspiration from a late 18th and early 19th-century original Dahabiya design, built in a colonial style. At its heart lies a half-shaded sundeck, the ideal spot for lounging in a wooden deck chair while watching the landscape glide by. Below deck, a welcoming living area awaits, complete with a salon, four cabins, and one suite. The cozy salon features a small library filled with books about the Nile and Egypt, comfortable sofas, making it the perfect spot to conclude your day. Here, you can swap stories, share experiences, read, or play backgammon, all while enjoying a Turkish coffee or a glass of Alexandrian wine.
