About this experience

Experience the Temple of Philae in an entirely different light — literally — on this enchanting evening Sound & Light Show. As darkness falls, take a motorboat to Agilkia Island where the Temple of Isis is transformed by dramatic lighting, laser effects, and a captivating narration. The story of Isis and Osiris unfolds as you walk through the illuminated temple complex, with each section lit up in sequence to reveal details invisible by day. The show moves through the temple, from the entrance pylon to the inner sanctum, with the voice of the goddess Isis herself guiding you through millennia of devotion, love, and resurrection. The reflection of the illuminated temple on the surrounding Nile waters creates a magical atmosphere. This is one of Egypt's most atmospheric Sound & Light Shows, and the boat ride to the island under the stars adds to the magic.
