Temple of Philae<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Temple of Philae or Philae is located about ten kilometres from Aswan, on a small island called Agilkia. This temple dedicated to Isis, goddess of love, magic and motherhood, is in a unique setting, surrounded by the waters of the Nile River &#8211; one of the most beautiful and best preserved you&#8217;ll see in Aswan and Egypt! As you walk through its mystical <strong>entrance pillars<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll spend hours admiring its <strong>hieroglyphs<\/strong> from the time of the pharaohs. From the Temple of Philae you can also visit other monuments on the island such as <strong>the Temple of Hathor<\/strong>, <strong>Hadrian&#8217;s Gate<\/strong> and <strong>Trajan&#8217;s Kiosk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is accessible by taxi or boat and is open Monday to Sunday from 7am to 4pm. The entrance fee is <strong>100 EGP<\/strong> for adults and 50 EGP for accredited students. However, there are several packs with various companies that include the Temple of Philae, the Aswan Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk in a single fixed price. In that case, it ranges from \u20ac55 to \u20ac65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\" data-attachment-id=\"28366\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/egypt\/things-to-do-in-aswan\/attachment\/temple-of-philae-in-aswan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C632&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,632\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Temple of Philae in Aswan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=300%2C185&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C632&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28366\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=1024%2C632&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Temple of Philae in Aswan\" class=\"wp-image-28366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=300%2C185&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=768%2C474&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" data-attachment-id=\"28367\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/egypt\/things-to-do-in-aswan\/attachment\/visit-the-temple-of-philae-in-aswan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C820&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,820\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Visit the temple of Philae in Aswan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C820&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28367\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=1024%2C820&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Visit the temple of Philae in Aswan\" class=\"wp-image-28367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Visit-the-temple-of-Philae-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=768%2C615&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Visit the beautiful Temple of Philae in Aswan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-the-aswan-dam\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-The-Aswan-Dam\"><\/span>2. The Aswan Dam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The massive Aswan Dam is one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century and stands at no less than 111 metres high. In Aswan, you&#8217;ll be impressed to see this massive construction that helped control the numerous floods of the Nile River and produce electricity for much of the country. Although some temples had to be moved, it also gave rise to <strong>Lake Nasser<\/strong>. Just 20 kilometres south of Aswan, come and be impressed by the sheer scale of this enormous dam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-the-unfinished-obelisk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-The-Unfinished-Obelisk\"><\/span>3. The Unfinished Obelisk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also visit an Unfinished Obelisk from over 3,500 years ago. In fact, this city was one of the most important quarries in Ancient Egypt. Legend has it that the Pharaoh Hatshepsut ordered its construction with the idea that it would be the largest obelisk in Egypt. However, several cracks formed during the splitting of the original rock and so the project was stalled. When you visit it you will be able to discover the work and techniques that were used at that time, it is most curious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-the-elephantine-island\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-The-Elephantine-Island\"><\/span>4. The Elephantine Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Elephantine Island is located opposite the first waterfall because it was used as a key point to control ancient trade routes. This island is notable for its bright white structures decorated with other colours, as it was once inhabited by the Nubian community. From here you can also visit the <strong>Aswan Museum<\/strong>, the ruins of the ancient <strong>temple of Khnum<\/strong> and two curious <strong>nilometers<\/strong> (an ancient instrument used to measure the clarity and level of the river).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go to see Aswan, you&#8217;ll find that Elephantine Island is easily accessible by public ferry &#8211; there&#8217;s no excuse! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-hunger-trail\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Hunger-Trail\"><\/span>5. Hunger Trail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stele of Hunger is another of the wonders you must see in Aswan. It is a text of exactly thirty-two columns engraved on a single block of granite rock. No traveller is indifferent to such a work whose texts are more than 2,000 years old! It tells the story of a great drought during the reign of the Zoser dynasty. We don&#8217;t know if this is a true story or not, but we assure you that you will be mesmerised by these mysterious hieroglyphs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-gharb-soheil\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Gharb-Soheil\"><\/span>6. Gharb Soheil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gharb Soheil is a charming and colourful little town that you can&#8217;t miss on your trip to Aswan. It&#8217;s easily accessible from Aswan by boat, and we particularly recommend the <strong>falucca<\/strong>, a traditional Egyptian sailing boat. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that you get to experience the Nubian culture! The Nubian people are an ancient civilisation that spread along the banks of the Nile River and still maintain their customs and way of life today. The Nubians share traditions that are very different from those of the Egyptians, and by visiting this enclave you can take advantage of your trip to Aswan to get to know two different cultures. As well as strolling through the <strong>colourful streets<\/strong>, we recommend a visit to the many <strong>craft shops<\/strong> in the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns

This monastery was built to promote Christianity in Nubia and is one of the 6th-century pearls to see in Aswan. Although it was abandoned in the 13th century, millions of travellers still marvel at the frescoes in the remains of what was once the basilica. Entrance to the Monastery of St. Simeon costs <strong>40 EGP<\/strong>, although there are several tours of varying price ranges that offer guided tours. It is important to note that the site closes at 16:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-mausoleum-of-aga-khan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-Mausoleum-of-Aga-Khan\"><\/span>9.

Although the interior is inaccessible, it&#8217;s worth taking a stroll along the banks of the Nile River or on a boat to appreciate its shimmering pink stonework.

The museum is open daily from 9am-1pm and 5-9pm and admission costs <strong>20 EGP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full Zoco See Aswan\" id=\"Zoco-Ver-Aswan\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"28374\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/egypt\/things-to-do-in-aswan\/attachment\/souk-of-aswan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Souk of Aswan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Souk of Aswan\" class=\"wp-image-28374\" title=\"Zoco See Aswan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Souk-of-Aswan.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Souk of Aswan @Rawan Yasser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-aswan\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Aswan\"><\/span>What to see around Aswan?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-abu-simbel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Abu-Simbel\"><\/span>1.

Before they were trapped under the waters of the Nile, <strong>the temples of the famous Pharaoh Ramses II<\/strong> and that of his favourite wife, <strong>Nefertari<\/strong>, were moved here in 1968. They are in very good condition, to the delight of all travellers who love Ancient Egypt, and it is only three hours from Aswan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most convenient option is to go on an organised trip from Aswan with an English-speaking Egyptologist, although you can also go by public transport or taxi. The entrance fee in either case is <strong>255 EGP<\/strong> per adult and must be paid <strong>in cash<\/strong>, so be sure to bring cash with you. Visiting hours at Abu Simbel are from 5:00 to 18:00 Monday to Sunday, and during the month of Ramadan may change, so be well informed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full Abu Simbel Visit Aswan\" id=\"Abu-Simbel-Visit-Aswan\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"28375\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/egypt\/things-to-do-in-aswan\/attachment\/holidays-in-aswan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Holidays in Aswan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Holidays in Aswan\" class=\"wp-image-28375\" title=\"Abu Simbel Visit Aswan\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Holidays-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@ Dmitrii Zhodzishskii<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large What to see in Aswan Abu Simbel\" id=\"What to see in Aswan Abu Simbel\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" data-attachment-id=\"28376\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/egypt\/things-to-do-in-aswan\/attachment\/vacations-in-aswan\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Vacations in Aswan\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?fit=1024%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"28376\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=1024%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vacations in Aswan\" class=\"wp-image-28376\" title=\"What to see in Aswan Abu Simbel\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Vacations-in-Aswan.jpg?resize=768%2C450&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">@ Lea Kobal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Dive into the depths of Ancient Egypt at Abu Simbel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-kom-ombo-and-edfu\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Kom-Ombo-and-Edfu\"><\/span>2.
