The pin and the dock are different places
The Google Maps listing marks the monument on Agilkia Island. That pin describes the destination after the boat crossing, not where a car can drop you off. Treat it as an orientation marker, not a navigation instruction for the road leg.
- Ask your boat or transport provider for the current departure marina.
- Confirm the name with the driver before setting off.
- Ask about the walk from the drop-off point to the boarding area.
- Keep the official map link for the island, not for driving directions.
At the departure point
- Confirm the vessel, the price, both directions and any waiting time before boarding.
- Confirm the exact point where you will meet the boat for the return.
- Ask about safe boarding access and any mobility needs in your group.
- Allow for possible waiting; no departure frequency or timetable is verified here.
Timing and late arrivals
The official e-ticket portal lists 15:00 as last entry and the ministry lists daily 07:00–16:00. Time spent finding the marina, waiting for a boat and crossing reduces the time available on the island. A later third-party closing time does not create a later admission.
- Confirm your visit date on the official portal before travelling.
- Build margin into the road and boat legs rather than arriving at the last minute.
- If the remaining time is short, shorten the route or choose another date.
What still needs verification
A precise marina name, coordinates, the drop-off-to-boarding walk, current operators, fares and departure frequency are not independently verified by this guide. Confirm them with your provider or at the official ticket information channels before relying on any single map pin.
Independent guide
This is an independent, unofficial guide and does not sell tickets. Official pages were checked on 4 November 2026; prices, last entry, boat operation and show schedules can change. Confirm them with the official portal and your boat provider on the day of your visit.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the Philae Temple dock?＋
The boat departure marina must be confirmed with your transport or boat provider. This guide does not publish an unverified dock name or coordinate; the island map pin is the destination, not the boarding point.
Can a taxi drop me at the temple?＋
No. The monument is on Agilkia Island and requires a boat. Confirm that the driver understands the actual departure marina, and agree the fare or app terms before departure.
Should I arrange the return boat at the dock?＋
Yes. Agree the return crossing, waiting time and the exact meeting point before boarding, rather than assuming a boat will be available when you finish.
