Temple of Philae
Located on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam, the Philae Temple complex is a beautiful and picturesque site in Egypt. To access the ruins, visitors must take a water taxi to the island. The temple was relocated to its current location after the construction of the High Dam posed a threat to its permanent submergence. The reconstruction at the new site was meticulously done, with great care taken to preserve the original appearance and layout of the complex. Even the island's landscaping was designed to match its former location, making for a stunning and authentic experience.
