[Egypt] Time travel to ancient Egypt!

Aswan, Egypt. There is a beautiful island that floats on the majestic Nile River, like a painting. That is Philae Island, where the "Philae Temple" dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis is enshrined. This time, we will tell you about the charm of this mysterious island and temple in detail☝️ The fantastic temple of Philae floating on the Nile River was originally located on Philae Island, but was in danger of being submerged due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Therefore, it was moved to Agilkia Island in a major project led by UNESCO. I am impressed by the technology that moved such a large ruin as it was! Thanks to this, it still stands as if floating on the emerald green Nile River, attracting visitors✨ 🚤How to get there The temple can be accessed by motorboat. As you move along the Nile River, the temple gradually appears, and its beauty is truly breathtaking. You can feel the sacred air that the ancient Egyptians worshiped on your skin and feel as if you have traveled back in time. If you arrange it through a tour or hotel, you won't have to worry about the price◎ ✨Experience the magnificent historical romance of ancient Egypt Construction of Philae Temple began during the Ptolemaic period, and it was expanded and renovated repeatedly until the Roman Empire. Therefore, it has a unique architectural style that combines Egyptian and Greek-Roman styles! In the temple, there are many reliefs and sculptures dedicated to various gods, such as the goddess Isis, the goddess Hathor, and the god Osiris. The intricate decorations carved into the walls speak of the advanced technology and deep faith of ancient Egypt. In particular, the relief depicting the goddess Isis breastfeeding her son, the god Horus, is famous as a symbol of maternal love. 📝Tips to enjoy Philae Temple 120% Sound and light show: At night, Philae Temple is lit up and enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere. In addition, a sound and light show is held, dramatically presenting the history and mythology of the temple. It seems that you can immerse yourself in the world of ancient Egypt! *I had a tight schedule so I only went during the day! Take precautions against the sun during the day: The Egyptian sun is intense😅 A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are essential. Enjoy the boat ride: Traveling along the Nile on a motorboat is one of the best parts of visiting Philae Temple. Feel the fresh breeze and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Combine with a trip to Aswan: In addition to Philae Temple, Aswan has many other sights to see, including the unfinished obelisk and the Aswan High Dam. It is recommended to combine your trip with Philae Temple◎ Why not embark on a journey that will expose you to the mysteries of ancient Egypt and immerse you in the romance of its eternal history? #Overseas travel #Trendy overseas places #Egyptian travel
