Private Nile Charters · Egypt
The Nile,
Experienced
Differently.
Private dahabiya charters. A slower rhythm. A more personal way to experience the Nile.
VEDA dahabiyas are privately chartered vessels owned and operated by Back To Gaia LLC — an Egyptian company based in Cairo and dedicated exclusively to private Nile charters.
From the quiet movement of the river to the intimacy of a private vessel, every journey is shaped around the people on board.
The VEDA Difference
What sets a VEDA charter apart
01 Private Charter
A private charter, not a shared cruise.
The whole vessel is yours — no fixed seatings, no crowds, no shared schedule. Just your group, the crew, and the river.

02 The Experience
A journey shaped around the people travelling.
Pace, table and moments ashore bend around who is on board — never the other way around.

03 The Fleet
A fleet owned and operated directly by us.
Four dahabiyas, all owned and run by Back To Gaia LLC — one team accountable from first enquiry to final farewell.
