Temple de Philae & Haut Barrage, demi-journée

The Aswan High Dam, completed in 1970 after Soviet-assisted construction, spans the Nile near Aswan and stands 111 metres high. It impounds Lake Nasser, one of the world's largest artificial reservoirs, and provides flood control, irrigation storage, and roughly 40 percent of Egypt's hydroelectric power, fundamentally reshaping the country's water management since the mid-20th century.

The Temple of Isis at Philae, near Aswan, was built mainly during the Ptolemaic period and dedicated to the goddess Isis. Threatened with permanent submersion after the Aswan High Dam was built, the entire complex was dismantled into thousands of blocks and relocated by UNESCO between 1977 and 1980 to nearby Agilkia Island, where it now stands.

Découvrez à la fois le Haut Barrage et le temple de Philae sans sacrifier une journée complète de votre séjour.

Rejoindre Philae en bateau à travers les eaux du réservoir du lac Nasser fait partie intégrante de l'expérience.
