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 at the designated time and set off toward the Temple of Philae. 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. We'll cross the Nile's waters to arrive at the island of Agilkia. Upon disembarking, you'll see why this temple is often referred to as the "Pearl of the Nile." It is one of Egypt's most preserved temples.

Accompanied by the deities Isis and Osiris, whose tale of love and tragedy we will explore, we will witness a captivating light show that animates the temple's walls over two and a half hours. After the show, we will board the boat and return to your hotel or cruise ship, concluding a total of four hours.
