Philae Temple
我我是水晶The Philae Temple is located in Aswan, Egypt. It was built on Philae Island in the Nile River south of Aswan City. It is dedicated to the goddess of love Isis. The Philae Temple complex you see today is not in its original location. After the Aswan Dam was built to store water, the temples were almost completely submerged. Since 1972, the Egyptian government has built a cofferdam around the temples to drain the river water in the cofferdam, and then dismantled the temples into more than 45,000 stones and more than 100 stone columns, and moved them to Aeglica Island, 500 meters north of Philae Island, as they were, and later opened them to the world.

Elephantine
AAricFongThere are two small piers to Elephant Island, one of which is at the entrance of KFC "next to". It is already a round-trip boat fee for 5 pounds, so there is no need to pay back to the other side. [Complacency] This is a place where Nubia people live on the small island. There are homestays, high-end hotels, coffee shops and attractions on the island. Half a day visit is not bad. We went shopping for about half a day, but we couldn't find the way to the Movenpick Hotel [sad] But everything is fine, come to Aswan and come to Elephant Island to visit Oh travel wedding day 182 days 11 countries Egypt Aswan
Nubian Museum
爱爱吃巧克力的小小可爱Learn about the development of the Nubian region from prehistoric times to the present day. At the entrance to the museum, there is a large model of the Nile Valley, marking the locations of the main temples. The museum also specifically demonstrates the changes in the Nile River and the process of relocating the affected monuments in the dam area when the Aswan Dam was built.
Unfinished Obelisk
Iivanstrips (YouTube)This attraction is not large and 30 minutes is enough to visit it. The biggest attractions are the 4,000-year-old quarry and the world's largest obelisk from 3,500 years ago. Walk from the Nile River to the unfinished obelisk less than 20 minutes, but the Google navigation route is wrong ❌. The place you finally walked to is a residential area. The ticket office is on the main road near the museum. You can refer to my markings on the Google map, or you can use Google Map to search the location coordinates 📍24°04’38.8”N 32°53‘39.7“E📍 This is the specific location of the ticket office. I hope it helps you. More travel information, please check my YouTube channel @ivanstrips
