One of the most unique experiences in Egypt is a private guided tour of the Philae Sound and Light Show. This tour includes round-trip transfers from your accommodation, entrance fees, and a private guide. The show, Aswan’s only sound and light display, takes place at the Philae Temple on Isis Island.
The Philae Sound and Light Show is an evening event. It illuminates the temple’s exquisite beauty against the night sky and tells the story of the goddess Isis and the god Osiris. The show takes you on a mesmerizing journey back in time, sharing tales of the pharaohs, gods, and goddesses who once visited the temple.
As the show begins, increasingly bright light bathes the temple complex, highlighting its architecture with captivating sound effects. The vivid colors beautifully interpret the temple’s carvings, vibrant reliefs, and ancient hieroglyphics.
The show provides narration in multiple languages, including Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Polish. This ensures that international guests can appreciate the history behind the temple in their own language. We find the show to be an unforgettable experience, as the combination of sight, sound, and history provides a unique insight into the ancient world of Egypt. You can even enjoy some refreshments while you watch the show, making it a complete way to spend an evening in Aswan.
In conclusion, the Philae Sound and Light Show in Aswan is a beautifully orchestrated experience that brings the temple’s history to life. Its combination of sound and light offers a one-of-a-kind, dramatic retelling of history.
Visitors can either explore the temple or watch the sound and light show. A motorboat takes you to the temple on the exquisite Agilkia Island. The Philae temple complex was built over 2,000 years ago during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras. It was once a significant pilgrimage site for Egyptians, Nubians, and others who traveled to pay tribute to the goddess Isis. The show brings this incredible heritage to life.
