Discover the mystical legends along the Nile River with a trip to the Philae Temple.

In the gentle embrace of the Nile River, there is an island, like a dazzling gem, inlaid in the long river of history. This is Philae Island, and the ancient and mysterious temple on the island is the first Egyptian temple we will visit on this trip—the Philae Temple. Learn about the legend of the goddess Isis. She is the goddess of love and fertility in ancient Egyptian mythology. Philae Temple is her sacred place. Wander through every corner of the temple, touch the time-worn murals, and feel the devout faith of the ancient Egyptians. Due to the construction of the Aswan Dam, the original site of the Philae Temple was submerged. The international community and the Egyptian government jointly relocated the temple. This is one of the largest cultural relic relocation projects in the world, demonstrating humanity's determination to protect cultural heritage. Visitors can take a boat to the island where Philae Temple is located. Along the way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Nile River. The architectural style of the temple typically reflects the artistic characteristics of the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. It has exquisite reliefs and huge stone pillars, showcasing the superb architectural technology and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptians. See the well-preserved ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Whether it is the magnificent hypostyle hall or the detailed relief works, it is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. [How to get there] Departing from Aswan city center, it is recommended to hire a car. You need to go to the pier first and then take a boat to the island.
