With all your senses – Slow Travel: the art of decelerated travel.

In a time of hectic and constant accessibility, many of us long for peace and contemplation instead of rushing from place to place on vacation. At the same time, we often don’t just want to lie on the beach on vacation, but want to get in touch with the country and its people and experience the sights of the country.

The crowds are bustling about on the big cruise ships

Cruises are becoming increasingly popular because they allow people to visit different places without having to pack their bags and check out every day. But on the big cruise ships, the crowds are bustling about and there is once more activity and program. Excursion times are also limited, since the journey has to go on, a major disadvantage of mass tourism.

The art of traveling slowly and consciously

This is where the small cruise ships like our Queeny come into play and with it the keyword “slow travel”: the art of traveling slowly and consciously and having enough time to process the many impressions. A trip with the Dahabeya allows you to get to know a part of beautiful Egypt and its compatriots in a small and relaxed atmosphere, without stress and at your own pace, so that at the end of the trip your head and soul are full but not oversaturated.

Egypt Slow Travel:
Leisurely journeys without disturbing entertainment

The leisurely travel without disturbing entertainment makes the journey a fascinating experience. It is not only the sights, but above all the time of doing nothing and just looking during the trip on the Nile, which makes the journey so valuable for our soul. Apart from the rippling of the water and the muezzin singing, there is idyllic silence. As the ship slowly glides along the banks of the Nile, you’ll have time to admire the ever-changing landscape and immerse yourself in a slice of Egyptian life on the Nile.

Observing constantly changing scenes makes you forget your everyday life

A young man leads his horse into the Nile to cool off, a boy brings his cows to the water to be watered, the laughter of bathing children sounds through the air, a colorful bird follows the ship and waits for prey, two young women wash their clothes by the water , Anglers wait on their small boats for a fish to bite.

Everything is more leisurely on the Dahabeya

The visit of the temples is not limited in time. Meals are taken together at a large table on the sun deck. At night the Dahabeya docks at the shore. Nothing can be heard except the chirping of the crickets.
