temple on a stunning island

one of my favourite temples I have visited in Egypt. it located in the southern part of Egypt. and the special thing about this temple is first you need to take the boat to get there since it located on this island. this is the most picturesque temples, and the history is really fascinating. i highly recommend to hire a guide or read up online before visiting the temple. this temple was initially submerged and abandoned, then by he government decided to move this temple from the North to the south, by the lower dam. the best time to visit this temple is before or around sunset time, while you can take some good pictures of the island and the temple. this is def one of the best one, must visit place in Aswan and in Egypt #passionpassport #gooutside #egypt#history#temple

#cruiseholiday A river cruise in Aswan offers one of the most enchanting and unforgettable experiences in Egypt. Drifting along the Nile—the lifeblood of ancient and modern Egypt—you’ll witness a landscape where time seems to stand still. Towering palm trees, lush green banks, and golden desert hills frame the river as feluccas and cruise boats glide silently by. Aswan’s cruise trips typically include stops at some of the region’s most iconic and culturally rich sites. The Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, stands gracefully on an island, accessible only by boat—making it a highlight of the journey. Another favorite stop is the Unfinished Obelisk, offering insight into ancient Egyptian engineering. Many cruises also include a visit to the impressive High Dam, and for longer journeys, excursions to Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples are included. Onboard, most cruise ships offer elegant accommodations, rooftop sundecks, and local entertainment—perfect for soaking in the river breeze while sipping tea or watching the sun set over the Nile. The food is often a flavorful mix of Egyptian and international dishes, served with warm hospitality and generous portions. What makes a river cruise in Aswan truly special is the pace. Unlike fast-paced tours, this is a chance to slow down, feel the rhythm of the Nile, and immerse yourself in the stories etched into every shoreline and monument. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a romantic traveler, or a family seeking a meaningful experience, the Aswan river cruise offers serenity, wonder, and a deep connection to Egypt’s enduring soul. It’s not just a journey through space, but through layers of time. An absolute must-do for anyone exploring Upper Egypt.
