Itinerary

Community fascination rests on Philae Temple and Island of Philae due to their storytelling heritage about Isis and Osiris. Each year the Nile River flooding exposed the temple site to near-complete submersion for half of the year. During the mid-twentieth century, authorities launched a complicated operation to stop the temple from sinking because of extreme water coverage. The Egyptian authorities settled the temple at Agilika Island to safeguard its preservation.

The nightly Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple presents visitors with a thorough study of ancient Egyptian history and the mythology surrounding Isis and Osiris as well as their child Horus who protects kingship. A combination of laser displays demonstrate site highlights while audio-guided tours lead visitors to key island landmarks.

Following the show viewers can take a boat across the harbor to reach their Aswan hotel or their Nile Cruise vessel. Passengers can use the boat to reach their Aswan hotel or Nile Cruise ship.

A remarkable myth links the Philae Temple to the Island of Philae through deep tales about Isis and Osiris. Due to excessive flooding, the Temple relocated to Agilika Island enabling visitors to witness incredible laser presentations about the site's historical importance.
