The Nile Divine is a dahabiya measuring 60 metres by 9. It carries sixteen guests across eight cabins. Every room holds original artwork by Alaa Abu El Hamd, a Luxor artist. Sculptures by local artists sit throughout the vessel. The owner designed the boat herself and hand-drew the furniture, using alabaster and travertine sourced in Egypt. The result is a vessel that reads as a gallery as much as a ship.
