Must see Philae Temple Sound and Light Show!

We booked the sound and light show at Philae Temple in Aswan with Ayman and his driver Tahur. Ayman was able to arrange our pick up from the Nubian village where we were staying. He was very polite and friendly and gave us a welcoming vibe. He shared a great history lesson about Aswan along the way, and we also took a motorboat to the temple and watched the sunset, while he shared some great stories about the Philae temple. The light show we attended was in English, and they also have multi-lingual audio headset for other languages as well. It was educational, and it resounded all of what Ayman told us. The sound and light show was in a storytelling type of format, and you can feel the mystical aura of the temple while doing a walk through. Ayman was kind enough to take a lot of photos for us. We highly recommend this tour and we are certain that other visitors will certainly enjoy it too. 5 stars!

Response from the operator: thank you for visiting us and making your trip. We’re glad that you found what you were looking for. It is our goal that you are always happy with what you do with us. Hope to see you again in Egypt.

July trip, 5 star experience

I had a lovely time in aswan and Luxor and this is my second time visiting these lovely cities. Our tour guides were informative and knowledgeable and clear in their message and translation. The cruise was 5 stars and everyone on it was very nice to us. Special thanks to our tour guide Ms Hanaa who took us to Filae Temple and Aswan Dams and she was very helpful and kind.

Philae Temple Sound And Light Show: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

How much does Philae Temple Sound And Light Show cost?

+

Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Philae Temple Sound And Light Show take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.

Is Philae Temple Sound And Light Show worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Philae Temple Sound And Light Show?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Philae Temple Sound And Light Show suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Philae Temple Sound And Light Show?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Philae Temple Sound And Light Show start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Aswan?

+

On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Aswan?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Aswan?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
