Started by Nectanabo of the 30th Dynasty and continued by Ptolemi II, this marvellous temple was saved from the waters in 1972, after the flooding of the old dam threatened it, rebuilt on a neighbouring island shaped to conform exactly to the old one and finally opened to the public in the late 80s. Many Roman emperors added Kiosks and side temples.The temple of Isis at Philae is by the First Cataract of the Nile. To the south is mysterious Nubia and the Sudan. Access by boat.
