This tour offers an insightful journey through some of the most impressive archaeological landmarks situated along the Nile, the world's longest river.
Your journey begins with a visit to the ancient Philae Temple, which is dedicated to the goddess Isis.
Originally located on the island of Philae, the temple was moved to Agilika Island to prevent it from being submerged by the rising waters of the Nile. It provides a remarkable look into Egypt's ancient mythology and the legendary stories involving Isis, Osiris, and Seth.
