Philae Temple(Temple of Isis)

The Temple of Philae is dedicated to Isis, the god of love. Philae is a small island in the Nile River south of the Aswan Dam, where a temple was originally built. When the British built the Aswan Dam in 1902, the island of Philae was submerged, and tourists could only take a boat to watch the temple gates and stone pillars out of the water. There are hieroglyphic inscriptions and some vivid reliefs in the Temple of Philae, where the god of wealth Hathor and the god of fertility Isis are worshipped here. It is said that Isis has 10,000 names. She is not only in charge of fertility, but also the patron saint of all people, so she was highly respected by the ancient Egyptians. In 1980, Egypt decided to transfer the island's monuments to another island and restore its original appearance. There are many travel agencies in Aswan that organize all-inclusive tours to Philae, or you can go by taxi or motorboat yourself.
