We will then drive to shores of the River Nile and take a motor boat to reach the Agilika Island to visit Temple of Philae, constructed in the 3rd century BC in the Greco Roman period. Our last visit of this marvelous day tour in Aswan will be to the Unfinished Obelisk, which was found in the granite quarry in the Southern part of Aswan. After the tour, we will get back to our Nile Cruise boat for overnight.
Energizing breakfast on the cruise. Our Nile Cruise boat will be landed at the location of the city of Kom Ombo, where we will visit Temple of Sobek & Haroeris, established in the Ptolemaic period, completed in the Roman era, and was dedicated to two gods, the local crocodile, Sobek and the famous eagle god, Haroeris. After that, we will get back to our boat for rest and refresh. Later on, we will visit Temple of Horus in Edfu, the finest preserved ancient Egyptian temple in the land of the Nile.

Sailing aboard Blue Shadow III was like stepping into a history book with a touch of luxury. The Valley of the Kings left me speechless, and lounging on the sundeck Jacuzzi made the journey even more delightful. The ship’s renovation is evident in its modern yet classic charm. I couldn’t get enough of the stunning Nile views while sipping my morning coffee
James Carter –
This trip offered so much more than just a luxurious ship. The hot air balloon ride in Luxor was the highlight of my journey. Floating above the Nile at sunrise felt surreal. The Temple of Horus in Edfu and the crocodile statues at Kom Ombo were fascinating. If you love mixing adventure with comfort, this is for you

The Blue Shadow III combines the best of both worlds: relaxation and cultural exploration. The sundeck is a haven of peace, while the guided tours to Karnak and Luxor Temples are enlightening. I appreciated the cozy cabins after long but exciting days. This cruise was the perfect balance for my curious yet laid-back soul
