Tour Details

The Nubian village Aswan tour offers a magical evening experience that blends ancient history, mythology, and breathtaking scenery through the unforgettable Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple. This tour begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, cruise ship, or Aswan airport, allowing you to relax as you travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle toward the Nile River. As the sun sets, the journey continues aboard a traditional felucca sailing gently across the river to Agilkia Island, where the legendary Temple of Philae rises from the water like a jewel.

The Temple of Philae, often called the Pearl of the Nile, is one of Egypt’s most beautifully preserved monuments and is deeply connected to the story of the goddess Isis and her husband Osiris. During the Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple, the ancient stones come alive through dramatic lighting and immersive narration that tells the tale of love, betrayal, and rebirth at the heart of Egyptian mythology. As lights illuminate the columns, pylons, and sanctuaries, visitors are transported back thousands of years to the time when these gods were worshipped along the Nile.

As part of the Nubian village Aswan tour, this evening experience provides a deeper cultural and spiritual connection to southern Egypt. The peaceful atmosphere of the Nile at night, combined with the storytelling of the Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple, creates a truly unforgettable moment. Accompanied by a private English-speaking Egyptologist guide, you will gain rich insights into Nubian heritage, ancient religious traditions, and the remarkable rescue of the temple during the construction of the High Dam.

After the show concludes, you will return comfortably to your hotel or Nile cruise, carrying memories of one of Aswan’s most enchanting nighttime experiences. The Nubian village Aswan tour with the Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple is ideal for travelers seeking culture, history, romance, and a unique way to explore Egypt after dark.

The best vacation of my Life!

Over the course of five (5) days, we had a wonderful experience while on a cruise, experiencing the rich history and culture around Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel. Everything was simple to arrange with Egypt Tours Portal, and they worked with us to create an itinerary that met our specific requirements.

AN EXCELLENT TOUR COMPANY

Experiencing the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, the Philae Temple, and Abu Simbel for two days with Ahmed Haggag was indeed an incredible adventure! He has extensive expertise and is fluent in English. I appreciate you being so patient and kind.

Flexible and Big Quality

For my first trip to Egypt, I had the most amazing three-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. I learned a lot more about Egypt's history from our tour guide, Mahmoud Nour, who is the best storyteller I've ever met. A wealth of cultural, historical, and current events data was offered by him. On top of that, he provided me with a wealth of helpful information regarding staying safe as I explored different areas. This trip had a lasting impression on me.

Definitely worth it!!

With Hamdy, we had an absolutely fantastic time. He and the driver spent all day with us, and they couldn't have been nicer, more informed, or more accommodating. During this tour, he showed us wonderful, real places, and we learned a lot. Our trip was flawlessly planned, and the booking process was a breeze. Thank you once more!

Highly Recommend

I can only speak highly of my time spent using Egypt Tours Portal. Throughout our entire excursion, our guide Biko shared precise information and was quite educated. He was approachable, kind, and concerned about our well-being at all times. We were also pleasantly surprised by how promptly our driver dropped us off at each location. All in all, it was an excellent experience, and I would suggest ETP to anybody planning a rewarding pyramid tour.
