This temple is one of the most unique and intriguing ancient temples because it was dedicated to two different gods: Sobek and Haeroris. To accommodate this, the builders had to construct two of everything, resulting in a complex that is essentially two temples in one.
Continue sailing to Aswan, passing by Herdiab Island.
After lunch, in the afternoon, we begin our tour in Aswan, starting with the great and magnificent ancient Temple of Philae. The Temple of Philae, located on the island of Agilka, is one of the most beautiful sanctuaries in Egypt. It was entirely relocated from its original location to its current position on higher ground. This move was necessary to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser after the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1977.
On our way back to our Dahabeya, we have the opportunity to stop by the Aswan Souk (market), where you can practice your bargaining skills, visit the spice market, and try the famous sugarcane juice.
