A Dahabeya is a traditional Nile sailing vessel with no motor. Originally built to carry celebrities and royal families, the Dahabeya was a luxury pleasure boat for the Nile.

Until the 1870s the Dahabeya was the common cruise boat for tourists to travel up and down the river Nile.

The name means «golden one» alluding to the gold and Dongola decoration.

‘Kemet’ means «Black Land». This is what the Ancient Egyptians called Egypt, due to

the fertility of the soil around the Nile, which was very dark and rich.

‘Kemet’ endeavors to be an authentic unique signature of Egypt today, combining old shipbuilding, maintaining the classic ‘Dahabeya’ look &feel, while adding marine features, authentic Egyptian furniture and décor elements with an infusion of modern style art, colors and utilitarian function.

A fusion of old and new, modern artists, craftswomen & men, ship builders coming together collaboratively to create a unique take on Egypt.
