A boat crossing with a step up onto the island, then a walking show over uneven temple ground in the dark.
About this tour
Philae Temple sits on its own island, so getting there after dark means a short boat crossing before the show even starts — the Temple of Isis lit against the night sky, with a narrated history of the temple's 1970s relocation to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
Highlights
- ✦Boat crossing to Agilkia Island at night
- ✦The Temple of Isis, lit for the show
