The Great Temple was built during the 3rd century BC and was followed by the temples of Amenhotep and Arsenophis. The Temple of Hathor, the last Ptolemaic monument, was completed before 116 BC by Euergetes II. Other Ptolemies added reliefs to Philae that are considered temple masterpieces. From Egypt, the cult of the goddess Isis spread to Greece, Rome and throughout the empire. Even as Roman rule took hold in Egypt, rulers sought to beautify the sacred island. Emperor Augustus Caesar built a temple on the northern tip of Philae in the 9th century BC.

We conclude our excursion with a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants in Aswan. 

After a day full of special sightseeing, our guide will return you to your hotel in Aswan.
