Highlights

Therefore, the temple was transferred to the neighboring island of Agilika from 1977 to 1980. In 553 AD, the temple served as a church, so much of the relief in the temple was destroyed.

An Unforgettable Egypt Journey with Top Class Egypt Travel and the Best Guide Ever - We had an absolutely amazing Egypt program thanks to Top Class Egypt Travel. They truly lived up to my expectations, and everything went smoothly from the beginning to the end of our expedition. Our tour guide, Maged, was more than amazing. He guided us all the way from Luxor to Aswan, accompanying us to every activity and making each moment unforgettable. Together we visited the breathtaking Esna Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, enjoyed a beautiful Nile cruise, experienced a magical hot air balloon ride, explored Hatshepsut Temple, the legendary Valley of the Kings, Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, visited Aswan, a Nubian village, sailed on a felucca, and ended our journey at the stunning Philae Temple. Maged was with us from A to Z, giving detailed explanations about each temple and the stories behind them. He explained everything in such a clear and simple way, especially for those of us who are not very familiar with Egyptian mythology. He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly the best Egyptologist I’ve ever met. He went beyond all my expectations , he even took videos and photos for me and my friend, sometimes waiting patiently for a long time so we could get the perfect shot. Many guides might have left, but not Maged. He was always professional, kind, patient, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend everyone to choose Top Class Egypt Travel , and especially to ask for Maged as your guide. He will make your trip to Egypt unforgettable!
