The Asiya
This was our cruise boat. It had 8 standard rooms and a suite in the back. A couple celebrating their 50th anniversary upgraded to use it.
There are two decks. The cabins were below and the dining area and bar are on top. It has an awning to protect form the sun. We had all our meals up there.
While it is a sailboat and can go on wind power, the uncertainty of the wind and the fact we were sailing against the current, we had a tug that pulled us. The tow rope was long enough that we didn't hear its engine noise.
One day we got onto the tug, and the crew set the sails so we could see it truly sail.
Its design is based on an ancient Nile ship called a dahabeah.
