Overview

You’ll travel from Aswan to the Philae Temple with private round‑trip transfers included, arriving at the ancient temple set on an island in the Nile. The experience centres on a sound and light show that brings the monument to life after dark. Walls, pylons and the temple court will be illuminated by a kaleidoscope of lights and laser projections, their colours reflecting in the lapping waters around the island. As you move through the floodlit halls and colonnades, a powerful commentary will accompany the visuals, telling the history of the temple and the pharaohs associated with it. The combination of lighting, sound and setting creates an atmospheric way to see Philae and to learn about its stories and architecture.
