Play Pharaoh Aboard the Nile's Most Luxurious Traditional Sailing Ship
The New York Post sails from Aswan to Luxor aboard Kemet on a four-night journey, calling it a better, more authentic way to experience Egypt than the classic Nile cruise. The story follows how co-founders Ahmed El Leissy and Mohamed Hassan created a boat filled with local craftsmanship, then goes beyond the temples to the moments that make a Kemetale journey different: a swim and fire-cooked dinner on a remote island, sunset birdwatching in local fishing boats, fresh bread with a family on Battau Island, and Chef Atef Mahmoud's home-style Egyptian cooking. It closes with a first look at Deshret, Kemetale's wellness-focused second dahabeya arriving in June 2027.
