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.

Egypt Fun Tours was contracted by our travel agency, Lenka Travelers, to arrange and guide us through parts of Egypt and Jordon. They did a fabulous job.

A friend and I had one day to spend in Cairo. Egypt Fun Tours–and tour guide Hani–came highly recommended by another friend who used them on a long layover. We were extremely impressed. For only about US$100, two people had a guide, driver, and car to ourselves for an entire
We are glad that we arranged our private shore excursion with Egypt Fun tours in last week of October 2012. Booking process was very easy with Hamada and she took care of all our questions promptly just via E-mail. Our group was little worried about safety in Egypt especially because
After a rocky start (the driver had been in an accident on his way to pick me up,) the company very quickly sent another driver/guide named Mohammed, who was a real pro. Thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Egypt!
Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria, by far, were my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so
Hi Hamada!
