Tour Itinerary

Your elite adventure begins with a warm welcome by a Bastet Travel representative at Aswan Airport or your local hotel, followed by a smooth transfer in a private air-conditioned vehicle to the MS Blue Shadow for check-in. After a gourmet welcome lunch on board, you will join your expert Egyptologist for a captivating afternoon of sightseeing. The tour begins with a short boat trip to Agilika Island to visit the romantic Philae Temple, a stunning sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis that was rescued by UNESCO in a massive 8-year relocation project. You will then visit the Aswan High Dam, a monumental construction from the 1960s that serves as a modern engineering marvel, providing panoramic views of Lake Nasser. After the tour, you return to the vessel for a refined dinner and your first night moored in the quiet beauty of Aswan.

Enjoy a fresh breakfast on board the MS Blue Shadow. This morning is free for relaxation, or you may choose to join an optional early morning excursion to the colossal Abu Simbel Temples, the massive rock-cut sanctuaries of Ramses II and Nefertari. Anchors are away in the afternoon as we set sail downstream toward Kom Ombo. Spend your afternoon relaxing on the sun deck as the ship glides past the fertile banks of the Nile. Upon arrival, you will visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique riverside structure where everything is architecturally doubled and perfectly symmetrical, dedicated to both the local crocodile god Sobek and the eagle god Haroeris. You return to the ship for dinner and an evening of music as the vessel continues its journey northward.

The morning begins with a nostalgic horse-drawn carriage ride through the local city of Edfu to visit the magnificent Temple of Horus, the most impeccably preserved ancient Egyptian temple in the land. After exploring its grand pylons and sacred chambers, you return to the ship for lunch while sailing toward Luxor. The experience of crossing the Esna Lock provides a unique highlight of your river travel. Upon arrival in Luxor, the "World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum," your exploration focuses on the East Bank. You will visit the Karnak Temple Complex, a gigantic sanctuary of pylons and columns dedicated to the Theban gods, followed by the Luxor Temple, a 3,400-year-old masterpiece built by Amenhotep III and Ramses II. The evening features an Oriental Show or Galabia Party on board, followed by a gourmet dinner and overnight stay.

On your final morning, you may opt for a sunrise Hot Air Balloon ride over the West Bank for a breathtaking perspective of the ancient landscape. Following breakfast and check-out, your guided tour focuses on the "City of the Dead." You will first encounter the Colossi of Memnon, two immense statues of Amenhotep III that have guarded the valley for millennia. The journey continues into the legendary Valley of the Kings, the royal necropolis where the pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried in hidden, richly decorated tombs. Your final visit is to the colonnaded Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, a strikingly modernist architectural feat nestled beneath towering cliffs. Following this deep immersion into ancient Thebes, our representative will provide a private transfer to Luxor Airport or your preferred location, concluding your prestigious 4-day journey with Bastet Travel.
