"SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW AT PHILAE'S TEMPLE" TOUR.
Get caught up in this sound and light show! Learn about the history of Egypt through images projected onto one of the most majestic monuments.
The Philae Temple is one of the most beautiful and best preserved in the country. It is located on a small island that can only be accessed by boat, something that adds even more charm if possible. This small island, a granite-covered alluvial rock, measuring only 460 x 150 m, is located about 8 km south of the Aswan Dam in Upper Egypt, in an area that in ancient times was the border with Nubia. The Greek name for Philae is well known. Its ancient Egyptian name was Paaleq, meaning "end" or "remote place", which later became Coptic under the name Pilak. Another meaning of the ancient name is "creation" or "island from the time of Re", which tells about the Egyptian creation myth of the place where the earth rose above the waters of chaos in the beginning of Creation.
