The Cairo Top Tours representative will meet you to enjoy one of the most astounding things to do in Aswan, as you will experience the amazing Philae Temple Sound and Light Show, one of the highlights of any Aswan day tour or Egypt tour. You will be transferred to the dock to take a motorboat on the River Nile leading to the island, where you’ll watch this mesmerizing show at Philae Temple. The performance will take you on a detailed journey through ancient Egyptian history and the legend of Goddess Isis, God Osiris, and their son Horus, protector of kingship.
The annual inundation of the River Nile once threatened the site of Philae Temple, which was almost submerged for six months each year. During the mid-20th century, a major international campaign saved the temple from vanishing beneath the water, relocating it to Agilika Island, where it proudly stands today. As part of your Egypt day tour, you’ll witness the magnificent laser presentations that illuminate the temple’s grandeur and walk among its monuments as the rich history of Philae is narrated.
After the show, enjoy a peaceful boat ride back to the harbor before being transferred to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan, completing an unforgettable Aswan private tour experience.
