Temple of Philae

This temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was built on the island of Philae during the time of the Roman Empire. Philae’s many shrines and sanctuaries include the vestibule of Nectanebos I, the Temple of the Emperor Hadrian, a Temple of Hathor, the Pharaohs Bed and a birth house. The spectacular Sound and Light Show, where floodlit buildings are silhouetted against the volcanic rocks and water around them, is performed at night..
