Get ready for an unforgettable evening at one of Aswan’s most magical sites — the Philae Temple Sound and Light Show. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a journey through time where ancient legends come to life under the stars.
We’ll take you to the beautiful island where Philae Temple sits — a place that once served as a sacred sanctuary for Isis, the goddess of motherhood and healing. Originally built during the Ptolemaic era (around 380–362 BC), the temple was carefully relocated by UNESCO in the 1960s to save it from the rising waters of the Nile.
As night falls, the temple transforms into a stage where the history of Ancient Egypt is told through dazzling lights, sound effects, and powerful narration. You’ll walk through the temple’s majestic columns and ancient courtyards, all lit up in vivid color, as stories of gods, pharaohs, and the famous myth of Osiris unfold around you.
Evening transfer to the boat dock and short ride to Philae Island.
Walk through the temple while enjoying a captivating sound and light show.
Listen to ancient stories told in a dramatic audio-visual performance.
Soak in the atmosphere as history, myth, and architecture come together.
Return transfer back to your hotel in comfort.
Whether you're a history lover or just looking for a unique night out in Aswan, this tour is a beautiful way to experience the spirit of ancient Egypt in a truly magical setting.

There are a lot of things to do in Aswan including Temples, Islands, Museums, and the cheerful Nubian Village. You shouldn't leave Aswan without visiting the High Dam, Abu Simbel Temple, Philae Temple, Sehil Island, and more attractions to explore on Aswan day tours.
You will need to spend 2-3 days in Aswan to see the main attractions. The first day is dedicated to visiting the Philae Temple, Abu Simbel Temple, or the High Dam, all of them are situated on the Nile River so you will enjoy all of them in our Egypt Nile Cruise tours. The second day is dedicated to exploring the Nubian museum and the Nubian Village. The Nubian people's history and culture are explored in the museum.
We recommend you go to Luxor because Luxor has a lot of important ancient Egyptian sites that need a lot of walking around and visiting its temples while Aswan is seen as a place of rest next to its temples.
Aswan offers a wide variety of attractions for visitors to discover and is an ideal base for a one-day tour of the city of Abu Simbel.
The architecture of the High Dam is not only visually attractive nor is it of historical interest. It is hardly a must-see tourist attraction in Aswan.
Travel has helped us to understand the meaning of life and it has helped us become better people. Each time we travel, we see the world with new eyes.
Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
