Aswan Philae Temple


We went by boat to see the Philae Temple which was relocated to an island in the middle of Lake Nassar. Due to the Dam, this temple would have been under water if it weren't relocated. It was a great temple. The first of many we would see on this trip. As I'm writing the blog after the trip I truly believe this was one of the best temples. Being in the middle of the lake gives it that much more mystery and charm. We really enjoyed it. Me, Mrinalini and Tom are just going crazy with the cameras. Tom mainly focused on the architecture and I encouraged the kids to do crazy poses. we all had a great time and we were starved by the time we return to our ship which set sail in the middle of the night for Kom Ombo.
