Masterpiece! This place is so surreal and it takes you back to the Pharoahs time as if we were living amongst them. You can see the conquers who engraved their names on its walls as they knew this place is a timeless. Proud Egyptian.
Beautiful temple from the ptolemaic era, and the most interesting place to go from Aswan apart from a day trip to Abu Simbel. The ticket to the temple does not include the boat ride and the system is actually a bit annoying: we got on a boat close to the ticket office area but not 'parked' there. We headed to the temple, and got told to get off somewhere to buy the tickets, scan them, and back on the boat to the actual temple. I guess you could tip the boat driver to skip this intermediate station. We paid 600 EGP for a return ticket for three people.
This was my first ancient Egypt place visited. It’s very intriguing! The whole place was dismantled and rebuild from the original place to avoid the destruction by the water of the Nile due to the Aswan Dam. Definitely worth the visit! Be aware that the ticket does not include the boat! Expect to pay 600 EGP more for the boat (cash only!) The ticket must be purchase using credit card, and you can buy at the ticket booth.
