Nice. - I liked this temple, I think it is special, besides it is on an island, you see the destruction by Christians, the high dam is important to understand the progress of Egypt.

Wow... and they moved the temple piece by piece!! - The temple is really beautiful and BIG and they moved it, piece by piece, from an island to another nearby island where the temple doesn't get flooded any more...they saved it for all of us to enjoy it. THANK YOU!

All temples of Egypt are worth seeing-Philae also - It fascinates me again and again to stroll through such buildings, whether alone, or with a guidebook, which then has a lot to report on, Egypt is and remains for me the most beautiful and interesting travel country.

Philae Temple caps the trip, after seeing Giza, Sakkara, Luxor, Karnak, Abydos, and Dendara. Would have liked a little more time to explore on the island. Obelisk is incredible, although our guide gave us a short introduction and then left us to wander. We enjoyed the freedom, but did have additional questions and were immediately targeted by baksheesh-hungry tourist police. Well worth it.
