Tour Itinerary

Your elite 4-day adventure begins with a professional greeting at the Aswan airport or railway station by a Bastet Travel representative, followed by a private transfer to the Blue Shadow III for a seamless check-in. After settling into your luxurious cabin and enjoying a gourmet welcome lunch, you will join your private Egyptologist for a tour of Aswan's monumental wonders. The tour starts at the High Dam, a 20th-century engineering feat that tamed the mighty Nile and created Lake Nasser. You will then take a traditional motorboat to Agilkia Island to visit the romantic Philae Temple, a Greco-Roman sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. Your afternoon concludes at the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries, offering a rare look at the stone-cutting techniques of the Pharaonic era. You will return to the ship for a refined dinner and your first night moored in the quiet beauty of Aswan.

Enjoy an energizing breakfast on the Blue Shadow III as the vessel begins its northward navigation. Your first stop is the city of Kom Ombo, where you will visit the unique Temple of Sobek and Haroeris. This rare, perfectly symmetrical "double temple" is dedicated to both the crocodile god and the falcon god, featuring ancient medical reliefs and astronomical calendars. After returning to the ship for a relaxed lunch and a soak in the sun deck Jacuzzi, you will disembark in Edfu. You will travel by traditional horse-drawn carriage to reach the Temple of Horus, the most impeccably preserved ancient temple in all of Egypt. After exploring its massive courtyards and the "Holy of Holies," you will return to the ship to enjoy a themed dinner and a festive atmosphere as the cruise sails toward the monumental city of Luxor.

After a delicious breakfast on the Blue Shadow III, you will cross to the West Bank of Luxor to uncover the mysteries of the Theban Necropolis. The tour begins at the legendary Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of the New Kingdom Pharaohs, where you will enter three selected royal tombs to admire the vibrant, ancient painted scenes of the afterlife. The exploration continues to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a striking modernist architectural masterpiece built directly into the towering limestone cliffs. Your morning concludes with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Amenhotep III that have guarded the valley for millennia. In the afternoon, you may choose an optional Hot Air Balloon ride or relax by the pool, before returning to the ship for a final gourmet dinner and an overnight stay in the heart of Luxor.

On your final morning, you will enjoy a fresh breakfast before checking out of your cabin on the Blue Shadow III. The grand conclusion of your tour focuses on the East Bank of Luxor, starting with the Karnak Temple Complex. As the largest religious site in the ancient world, you will walk through the staggering Great Hypostyle Hall and its 134 towering pillars, constructed over a period of more than one thousand years. The journey continues to the Luxor Temple, another startlingly beautiful structure established around the 14th century BC and connected to Karnak by the legendary Avenue of Sphinxes. Following this deep immersion into the splendor of Thebes, our team will provide a private transfer in a modern air-conditioned vehicle to your preferred location in Luxor, concluding your remarkable 4-day boutique Nile experience with Bastet Travel.
