Definition
A large flat-bottomed river boat with sails, traditionally used on the Nile River in Egypt for transportation and tourism.
Etymology
From Arabic 'dāhābiyyah' (literally 'golden'), derived from 'dāhab' (gold). The term originally referred to royal or luxury boats, and the name stuck even as the boats became common for general river travel.
Kelly Says
Dahabeahs became iconic symbols of romantic 19th-century travel in Egypt—European tourists and writers like Agatha Christie would spend weeks drifting down the Nile on these elegant boats, which became central to the mythology of colonial adventure.
