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? She would not be happy with this, but she would be proud to know that, like her husband Osiris, Philae was reborn so that new visitors can see the glory of Philae year after year. ...

I was there!

We visited the temple only in the evening to see the Sound and Light show, which took a different meaning to the buildings normally seen in the daylight. Firstly it was a coach ride to take us to the launch boat area so that we...More
