The Philae Temple Sound & Light Show is more than just a performance; it’s a journey through myth, magic, and time. Set on a peaceful island in the Nile, Philae comes alive after sunset through a magical blend of lights, music, and storytelling.
Start your evening with a scenic boat ride across the Nile to reach the island of Philae. As the temple lights up against the night sky, walk through its sacred courtyards while a powerful narration tells the story of Isis and Osiris and how the temple was saved from rising waters and rebuilt stone by stone.
The show combines colorful lighting, dramatic sound effects, and historical storytelling, transforming this ancient site into a stage for Egypt’s spiritual legends. It’s a one-hour immersive experience, perfect for history lovers, couples, and anyone looking for a memorable night in Aswan.

Step into the world of gods and goddesses. As the show begins, the temple walls come alive with color, light, and music. Through narration and dramatic laser projection, the story of the goddess Isis, the rebirth of Osiris, and the dramatic relocation of the temple unfold around you.
The second half of the show invites you to sit in a specially designed viewing area and fully immerse yourself in the magic of ancient Egypt as it comes alive through visuals and sound.
After the show ends, you’ll take the return boat back across the Nile and drive comfortably to your accommodation in Aswan.
