What the pin shows

The map listing marks the relocated temple complex on Agilkia Island. The monuments were moved from their original island, Philae Island, to protect them from the raised Nile waters after the High Dam; the island visited today is the relocated setting.

  • The Temple of Isis is the principal monument within the complex.
  • The complex also includes the Temple of Hathor and Trajan’s Kiosk.
  • The setting is an island surrounded by water, not a road-side site.

What the pin does not show

  • It is not the boat departure marina or a parking location.
  • It does not show the drop-off-to-boarding walk or the return meeting point.
  • It does not confirm current access, boat operation or opening hours.
  • The Google Maps listing address is a listing field, not a navigation instruction.

Using the map with your provider

Share the official map link to identify the monument, but ask your provider for the current departure marina and agree the return crossing before boarding. Confirm the official hours and last entry for your date separately.
