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
  • ✦The story of Philae's relocation
