Temple of Philae

Address: Agilkia Island, Aswan, Aswan Governorate, Egypt

The Temple of Philae, now on Agilkia Island near Aswan, is a beautiful monument to the goddess Isis, rich with ancient Egyptian and Roman history. Built during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras, this temple displays remarkable carvings, detailed hieroglyphs, and grand columns depicting the stories of Isis and Osiris. Originally located on Philae Island, it was relocated in the 1960s to protect it from Aswan High Dam flooding. Today, surrounded by Nile waters, it remains a magical, serene destination for travelers.
