Sound and Light Show - Philae

What travelers say:

The Philae temple on Agilkia Island was originally on Philae Island, an island in the Nile shoal. After the British built the Nile Low Dam in 1902, the Temple of Philae was flooded for months a year. The Aswan High Dam was built and the Temple of Philae sank forever. The temple was relocated to the nearby Akilkia island. Akilkia Island was not large enough to be expanded a little, allowing the temple to be restored as it was.
