Philae Temple from Aswan Hotels (excluding entrance fees)

Overview

You will travel with a NASCO Tours representative to Philae Temple, a site whose principal structures date from the Ptolemaic Period (332–30 BC). The complex includes a temple dedicated to Isis, built under Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–246 BC) in honour of Isis, the mother of Horus — the ancient Egyptian god of kingship. As you move through the site, you will see the rich carvings and architectural details that reflect its Ptolemaic origins. One highlight is the birth room, where a carved scene depicts Isis nurturing the infant Horus in the marshes. You will have the chance to linger on this intimate portrayal and consider its importance within the temple’s religious programme. Your visit will be accompanied by the NASCO Tours representative, and it concludes with a return to your hotel, leaving you with memories of Egypt’s ancient history and its enduring monuments.
