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.

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. My husband and I and our 12 year old son, Ryan were on a 7Days-6Nights Cairo /Aswan/Luxor tour. Egypt Fun Tours was very flexible in the planning of the trip and in the payment of the deposit. We were concerned
My friend and I planned a whirlwind trip to Dubai, the Dead Sea, Petra, Cairo, Luxor, and Sharm el Sheikh for early November 2011 – 6 cities in 10 days! We allotted one afternoon and evening for Cairo, and we wanted to see as much as we could! We drove
The breathtaking views and the isolation with a night under the stars! The trip was memorable with Mohamed, our tour guide, who drove us to all the sites on the way to the White Desert, and is clearly someone who knows the desert inside out. He also cooked a delicious
I found this company (thanks Trip Advisor!) very last minute and was so happy to read the great reviews. Reaching out to this company was a no-brainer, despite the fact that I’d done so a few hours before my flight to Egypt. Even better was that Hamada responded via WhatsApp
We had the time of our lives on a trip to Egypt and the Bahariya/White Desert with Egypt Fun Tours, too. I would highly recommend this company. They are very familiar with organizing this trip, and this means they are well-connected in the desert area. This was invaluable to us
First things first…I was in Cairo about a week before the protests of 2011 started. As far as the tour was concerned, I was very pleased. I was met at the airport by a knowledgeable guide (Sara) who spoke great English and a driver. They took me to Giza first,
