Half Day Tour to Philae Temple

A representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan to enjoy a half-day tour in the amazing city of Aswan. You will visit the majestic Philae Temple, which was built in honor of the goddess Isis, the chief deity of the island. Philae was originally located near the expansive first cataract of the Nile in the upper Egypt, and was the site of an Egyptian temple complex. These rapids as well as the surrounding area have been flooded multiple times since the initial construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. The temple complex was later dismantled and relocated nearby the Agilkia island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign Project. This allowed for the protection of this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. Later, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
