Experience the captivating history of Egypt through a unique sound and light show at the Temple of Philae.
Description
We'll pick you up at your hotel or boat in Aswan and set off toward the Temple of Philae at the designated time.
To reach this stunning temple, we'll journey by air-conditioned vehicle to the banks of the Nile River and embark on a falucca, a traditional wooden sailboat, to cross the Nile until we arrive at the island of Agilkia. Upon disembarking, you'll understand why this temple is referred to as the "Pearl of the Nile," standing as one of Egypt's most exquisitely preserved temples.
Accompanied by the deities Isis and Osiris, we will explore the Temple of Philae. Their story unfolds over two and a half hours through a light show that animates the temple's walls, bringing Egyptian mythology to life. After the show, we will board the boat and return to your hotel or cruise ship, totaling four hours.
