Next, you will visit the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Built around 690 BC, it was one of the last places where the goddess was worshipped. During the 1960s, the temple complex was relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser after the construction of the High Dam. Additionally, the exquisite reliefs and stunning architecture of the Temple of Philae make it a must-see site. Learn more about the Temple of Philae.

The Unfinished Obelisk, which remains in its original location, was abandoned when a crack was discovered during its carving. Furthermore, your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain the intricate carving techniques and the significance of this enormous 1,200-tonne obelisk. Learn more about the Unfinished Obelisk.
