Amazing Sound and Light Show in Aswan

If you are in Aswan and think of doing something different and fun at the same time, our Light and Sound show excursion at Philae Temple ranks as one of the most impressive tours.

It is so important to know that Philae Island, an island in the middle of the Nile River and one of the strongest fortresses on Egypt's southern border, which separates the Nile into two opposing channels at Aswan, had a Philae temple that was moved from its original location on Philae Island and mounted on Agilika Island after the construction of the High Dam.

This temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was flooded by the Nile, was divided and reassembled in a new location on the island of Egilika, about 500 meters from its original location on Philae Island. Through this excursion, visitors can contemplate the sound and light show at night, which is presented in different languages.

The Philae Temple's sound and light show will take you into the pharaonic secrets it hides. Embark on a journey through history to discover why the island was named Philae and who built its temples. Our shows will take you to the source of legend, where once stood the greatest kings of Pharaonic Egypt. Aswan's sound and light shows will take you through the world of the ancients in a visit worth every minute of your time.

Itinerary

If you're in Aswan and want to do something different and enjoyable at the same time, you'll begin your journey with our Philae Temple sound and light show tour, which is one of the best excursions in Aswan.
It is important to remember that the Philae Temple was relocated from Philae Island to Agilika Island during the Great Dam's completion. One of the most formidable castles on Egypt's southern border, Philae Island is situated in the center of the Nile River and splits the river into two opposed channels at the peak of Aswan.

After being flooded by the Nile, this temple honoring the goddess Isis was split up and rebuilt on the island of Egilika, some 500 meters from its original site on Philae Island. Visitors can reflect on the nighttime light and sound show, which is presented in various languages, by taking this journey.

The light and sound spectacle of the Philae Temple will transport you to the pharaonic secrets it conceals. Take a historical tour to learn who constructed the island's temples and why it was given the name Philae. Our performances will transport you to the place where the greatest Pharaonic Egyptian rulers once stood—the origin of the legend. The music and light displays at Aswan will transport you to the ancient world in a visit that is well worth your time.
