wow Philae Temple

Philae Temple This temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was flooded by the waters of the Nile, was divided and reassembled in a new location on the island of Egilika, about 500 meters from its original place on the island of Philae. Its buildings include a temple of Hathor, and the visitor can watch the sound and light show at night, which is presented in different languages. Egypt was a prosperous part of the parts of the Roman Empire, it became truly rich and several new cities were built in it, and among the most famous facilities in Egypt in the Roman era is what is called the Pharaoh’s bed, that is, the booth of Trajan, and this monument was built on the island of Philae by Trajan, the Roman ruler.#philaetemple

#cruiseholiday A river cruise in Aswan offers one of the most enchanting and unforgettable experiences in Egypt. Drifting along the Nile—the lifeblood of ancient and modern Egypt—you’ll witness a landscape where time seems to stand still. Towering palm trees, lush green banks, and golden desert hills frame the river as feluccas and cruise boats glide silently by. Aswan’s cruise trips typically include stops at some of the region’s most iconic and culturally rich sites. The Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, stands gracefully on an island, accessible only by boat—making it a highlight of the journey. Another favorite stop is the Unfinished Obelisk, offering insight into ancient Egyptian engineering. Many cruises also include a visit to the impressive High Dam, and for longer journeys, excursions to Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples are included. Onboard, most cruise ships offer elegant accommodations, rooftop sundecks, and local entertainment—perfect for soaking in the river breeze while sipping tea or watching the sun set over the Nile. The food is often a flavorful mix of Egyptian and international dishes, served with warm hospitality and generous portions. What makes a river cruise in Aswan truly special is the pace. Unlike fast-paced tours, this is a chance to slow down, feel the rhythm of the Nile, and immerse yourself in the stories etched into every shoreline and monument. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a romantic traveler, or a family seeking a meaningful experience, the Aswan river cruise offers serenity, wonder, and a deep connection to Egypt’s enduring soul. It’s not just a journey through space, but through layers of time. An absolute must-do for anyone exploring Upper Egypt.
