Per Ba Merkaba
is a truly distinctive way to experience the Nile — a luxury Dahabiya created as a peaceful sanctuary where Egypt’s ancient spiritual heritage meets contemporary comfort. Inspired by the concept of Per Ba, the “House of the Soul,”
and the symbolism of Merkaba as a “chariot of light,”
the experience is designed around peace, connection, and reflection.
Sailing between Luxor and Aswan, Per Ba Merkaba offers an intimate journey through Egypt’s history, culture, and spiritual heritage. With only 12 accommodation units for up to 24 guests, the experience is deliberately small-scale and personal, allowing travelers to enjoy a slower and quieter side of the Nile. The Dahabiya offers 8 standard cabins and 4 suites with veranda or balcony, with two suites on the Upper Deck and two on the Main Deck.
Onboard, guests can relax in a spacious lounge with panoramic Nile views, enjoy gourmet Egyptian cuisine, or unwind with the Jacuzzi, outdoor pool, sun beds, and sun deck. The fact sheet also highlights an energy work space
and a Blue Lotus pond
as distinctive features of the vessel.
The journey is available between Luxor and Aswan, with a 5 Days / 4 Nights Luxor–Aswan
sailing and a 4 Days / 3 Nights Aswan–Luxor
sailing.
Experience the Nile at a slower pace, surrounded by tranquility, Egyptian heritage, and a sense of connection — a different way to experience Egypt.
