Enter the temple complex and begin the magical Philae Temple Sound and Light Show.

Walk through the ancient temple while dramatic lights illuminate its pylons, columns, courtyards, and reliefs.

You will also learn about the history of the temple and its importance as one of the major centers of worship dedicated to the goddess Isis.

Discover the Story of Isis and Osiris

One of the main highlights of the show is the legendary story of Isis and Osiris.

Through narration, music, and lighting effects, the story unfolds around the temple while its ancient walls provide a dramatic setting.

This combination of history, mythology, and visual effects makes the Philae Temple Sound and Light Show very different from a regular daytime visit.
