• Sound and Light Show - Philae - At 17:00 private Pick-up from Aswan hotel or Nile cruise. With a private air-conditioned vehicle go to Philae Temple, set on an island in a basin of the Nile River. On route, hear how the temple was built during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, and dedicated to the Egyptian goddess, Isis. During the 1970s, the building was dismantled at its original location on Philae Island, and re-erected on its current island to save it from flooding caused by the completion of the new Aswan High Dam in 1970. On arrival, have your camera ready for the spectacular sound and light show. Watch in awe as a rainbow of lights and laser projections illuminates the temple, bringing it to stunning life. Walk through the atmospherically lit courts, halls and colonnades as the English commentary summons up the ghosts of pharaohs past and recounts the temple’s history through the ages. Discover the symbolic meanings behind the wall reliefs and admire the lights of the floodlit edifice reflected in the lapping Nile waters. After the show, return to your private vehicle and travel directly back to your hotel or Nile cruise, where your tour ends.

The Philae Sound and Light Show is an enchanting experience that begins with a private pick-up at 17:00 from your Aswan hotel or Nile cruise. You’ll be transported in a private, climate-controlled vehicle to the Philae Temple, which is perched on an island amidst the Nile River’s waters. En route, you’ll learn about the temple’s construction in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, and its dedication to Isis, the revered Egyptian deity. In the 1970s, to prevent submersion due to the Aswan High Dam’s creation, the temple was meticulously moved from Philae Island to its present location. Upon arrival, prepare your camera for the mesmerizing sound and light spectacle. Gaze in wonder as the temple is bathed in a kaleidoscope of lights and laser beams, reviving its ancient grandeur. Stroll through the dimly lit passageways, chambers, and columns while the English narration evokes the spirits of bygone pharaohs and narrates the temple’s storied past. Uncover the hidden meanings in the wall carvings and marvel at the temple’s illuminated facade mirrored in the Nile’s gentle waves.
