Experience the magic of ancient Egypt after dark with the Philae Temple Sound and Light Show. As the sun sets over the Nile in Aswan, the majestic Temple of Isis on Agilkia Island transforms into a theatrical stage. This immersive Philae Temple Sound and Light Show narrates the timeless heart-pounding myths of the Egyptian gods through a spectacular display of multimedia, laser projections, and traditional music.
Your evening begins with a private, air-conditioned transfer from your Aswan hotel or Nile Cruise. Unlike standard daytime visits, the Philae Temple Sound and Light Show starts with a romantic motorboat ride across the Nile under the stars.
Once you reach the island, you will walk through the atmospherically lit courts and colonnades. The show is not stationary; you move through the temple complex as the story of the Goddess Isis and her husband Osiris is projected onto the ancient stone pylons. You will hear the voices of Pharaohs and gods telling the history of the temple’s construction, its burial under water, and its miraculous rescue by UNESCO.
