Sound and Light Show experience at Philae Temple from Aswan
Your magical evening begins with a convenient post-sunset pickup directly from your hotel lobby or Nile cruise ship in Aswan in a comfortable, private air-conditioned vehicle. You will be driven to the river marina, where a traditional motorboat awaits to carry your private group across the dark waters of the Nile to Agilkia Island. Upon arrival, the temple ruins vanish into the shadows before being dramatically illuminated by spectacular multi-colored lights and laser projections. As you walk through the monumental pylons and columns, a narrated audio presentation fills the night air, vividly revealing the history, secrets, and architecture of the site. You will follow the epic mythological stories of the ancient Egyptian gods and learn about the massive 1960s UNESCO rescue project that relocated the temple from its original flooded home. After the final curtain of light and sound, your boat and private vehicle will be waiting to transfer you smoothly back to your accommodation or cruise ship.
