Start your exciting tour by being on one of the Best Egypt Nile cruises with Blue Shadow Cruises. Once you arrive in Aswan, our representative will be ready to transfer you either from the airport or Aswan station. Your tour guide will accompany you to discover the historical events and secrets by visiting Aswan's most valuable landmarks.
Visit Philae Temple: take a 15-minute motor boat ride to reach the Island to see one of the most enchanting temples in the Egyptian temples. See the sun rays illuminating the inscriptions and the huge columns of the Philae Temple narrating the story and the worship of Isis. Isis was one of the most beloved goddesses in Ancient Egypt and was associated with motherhood, healing, protection, and royal legitimacy through her son Horus. The inscriptions, courtyards, the House of Birth, and the columns reveal that Egyptian religious traditions continued to thrive during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.
Secondly, you will visit the High Dam, or the project that changed lives in Egypt. The dam brought about a major transformation in Egypt’s development, shifting the country from seasonal to year-round agriculture, protecting it from flood damage, and contributing to the reclamation and expansion of agricultural land; it is considered one of the most significant achievements of the late Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
The ‘Unfinished Obelisk’ of the Great Queen Hatshepsut in Aswan is a pink granite obelisk located in the northern part of a quarry there. It was carved on three sides, but unexpectedly, an irreparable crack appeared, which has meant that it has remained lying and in contact with the ground to this day.
After enjoying the vibes of the Aswan City Tour, get back to your cruise and enjoy the events of your cruise with your nice staff.
