Exclusive Nile Cruise on the Shepherd

The Return of the "Grand Tour"

Close your eyes and imagine for a moment. You are not a 21st-century tourist, but a traveler from the elite of the 1920s. The rustle of linen clothing, the clinking of crystal glasses on the deck at sunset, the mystery of a thousand-year-old land flowing slowly before your eyes.

ADARA YACHTS invite you to stop the clock. Forget the large, impersonal cruise ships that crowd the river today. We propose a return to the Grand Tour, a journey the Europea

n aristocracy undertook to discover the cradles of civilization.

The Shepherd luxury Nile cruise ship sailing past ancient temples

The vessel we have selected for this voyage is the Shepherd.

Stepping aboard this ship means crossing the threshold into another era. This motor vessel was conceived to evoke the spirit of the historic dahabeyas and the steamers that carried royalty and writers along the sacred river.

Exclusive Nile Cruise on the Shepherd

It is the triumph of Historic Luxury:

The interiors embrace the warmth of fine woods, rich fabrics, and a design reminiscent of the grand colonial hotels of early 20th-century Cairo.

As in the private journeys of the gilded age, privacy is sacred. Few selected guests, no crowds—just the pleasure of sharing refined spaces with fellow travelers who appreciate beauty and silence.

Imagine sitting here in an open-air drawing-room, sipping mint tea as the Temple of Kom Ombo appears on the horizon, gilded by the twilight glow.

It is an experience that recalls a time when traveling was a rare privilege, made of leather trunks, travel journals, and slow discoveries.

The Art of Slow Navigation: From Luxor to Aswan

In the age of speed, *The Shepherd* chooses regal slowness. The ship maintains low speeds and travels silently through the waters of the Nile.

Experiencing the cradle of civilization at this pace means rediscovering archaeology as the early explorers did:

Luxor and the Valley of the Kings

Not a simple visit, but an immersion into the bowels of the earth where Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun. Aboard The Shepherd, in the evening, you can discuss the day's findings with the same passion as the archaeological circles of the time.

The Temples on the River (Edfu and Kom Ombo)

Arriving via the river, seeing the columns rise from the bank, restores these places to their original grandeur, far from the chaos of tourist buses.

The Charm of Nubia (Aswan)

The arrival in Aswan, with its feluccas dancing in the wind and the Temple of Philae emerging from the waters like a mirage, is the worthy conclusion to a romantic chapter.
