The Philae temple complex is an island-based structure that was built during the reign of Ptolemy ll. Also known as the 'Pearl of Egypt', this mystical temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and remains the centre of her cult. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is frequented by tourists who seek to explore Aswan’s cultural history. In addition, the Light & Sound Show at Philae Temple is extremely popular.
The temple was moved to its present location post the construction of the High Dam. The gem of the Nile can be dated back to 690 BC and honors healing and magic. But, unfortunately, it can only be accessed by water taxis.
