Itinerary

Your Aqua Tours representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan for an exciting half-day tour. You will visit the majestic Philae Temple, a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis, who was worshipped as the mother of gods. Originally located near the First Cataract of the Nile, the temple was threatened by the rising waters caused by the construction of the Aswan Low Dam. Thanks to the efforts of UNESCO's Nubia Campaign, the temple was carefully dismantled and relocated to Agilkia Island to preserve its legacy. As you wander through the temple, you'll marvel at its intricate carvings and majestic columns. After your visit, you'll be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
