Guide in: English

Description

Immerse yourself in the fascinating heritage of Egypt with an extraordinary sound and light spectacle at the Temple of Philae, designed to captivate your senses.

Description

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or boat in Aswan, where we will embark towards the remarkable Temple of Philae at the scheduled time.

Our excursion takes us by air-conditioned vehicle to the banks of the Nile River, where we will board a traditional wooden sailboat, known as a falucca. This charming vessel will glide us across the tranquil waters of the Nile until we reach the island of Agilkia. As you step onto the island, the beauty of this temple will quickly reveal why it is often hailed as the "Pearl of the Nile," recognized as one of the most beautifully preserved temples in Egypt.

As we explore the Temple of Philae, we are joined by the legendary figures of Isis and Osiris, who narrate their poignant love story and the tragedies intertwined with it. Did you know that these deities were wed? For the next two and a half hours, their narrative and the essence of Egyptian mythology will be vividly showcased in a stunning light show that brings the temple's surfaces to life. This experience will surely be etched in your memory!

Following the conclusion of the performance, we will return by boat to your hotel or cruise ship, wrapping up our journey in a total of four hours.
