About

At each Philae Sound and Light show, the Egyptian gods and goddesses are, like Osiris, resurrected before our eyes to tell us their life stories. What would Isis say today if she learned that her temple was allowed to sit in water for many years...more

Was merely okay

I attended the Sound & Light show at the Philae temple with a group of about 20. Nearly all in my group really liked it. But I was a little disappointed. As you listen to a recorded narration (audio) in the form of a play...More

The sound and light show is mobile. You cross to the island by boat and are taken through the temple, with the story of the Nile, Isis, Osiris and Horus being told as you go. The show ends with further storylines whilst sitting watching the...More

Beautiful

The boat trip is great. Mumbians run the boats and the gift area. Their artifacts are cheap and unique. Well worth buying a souvenir or two we did.

A surprising learning experience.

We didn't really want to go to a light show, thinking they were touristy and sort of dumb. However, I relaxed in the balmy air of the evening and the lights on the temple, and ended up being carried away by the show and got...More

Good but Karnak was better

A nice story told by some famous British actors but it was just lights turning on and off highlighting various parts of the structure. The seating area is not raked so if it is crowded your view is limited. Advise taking a torch as the...More

Philae temple sound and light show

Egypt has many but this one is unique ,i guess the location of the temple and being on an island in the middle of the water of the Nile made it spectacular and unique .
