Travel Guide

A great moment in #history! This temple in Philae once had to be dismantled and rebuilt on an island due to problems with flooding in the initial location. Seeing all the different hieroglyphics in this area truly made my time in Egypt something I will never forget.
A great moment in #history! This temple in Philae once had to be dismantled and rebuilt on an island due to problems with flooding in the initial location. Seeing all the different hieroglyphics in this area truly made my time in Egypt something I will never forget.
#TroveOn This temple was one of the most beautiful ones seen in Egypt! The vegetation and flowers surrounding it only added to its mystique.
The Temple of Philae has been completely reconstructed on an island in the Nile River. Building of the Aswan dam flooded many historical sites in Egypt and to save them, they have to be removed from the water, or moved before the flooding happened. Boats can be rented in Aswan to take you to this incredible island. #History
