Sailboats were common in Egypt at the beginning of the 20th century when the royal family and elite travelers loved to cruise the Nile in style. They rented the boats for weeks at a time, and made their way from temple to temple enjoying the river breeze. The boats had four to ten cabins, bathrooms and a host of servants. The dahabeyas are the way to enjoy Egypt at a leisurely pace, to feel the river Nile, and slowly blend in with the civilization around the Nile River.
