Temple of Philae

Share

An early start to visit the beautiful Temple of Philae. This is an unusual Temple as it is located on a small island on the Nile, the island of Philae. The Temple used to be on a different island, just a few hundred metres away. A UNESCO project in the 1970s, moved the temple very carefully and accurately to Philae, as the previous location was becoming submerged in the Nile waters. It is almost completely underwater today. You can still see the water line on the stones. It was such a beautiful location and the short boat ride from the mainland allowed you to view the Aswan Dam, Nubian houses and some of the other small islands in the Aswan area of the Nile. ♥️ 🤍 🖤 #Egypt #مصر #visitegypt #DiscoverEgypt #IslandEscape #Philae #boating #goodmorning | The Organised Explorer
