What the official pages list

The official ticket portal and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities monument page were checked on 4 November 2026. The published general admission categories are listed below; they are reference values, not a price guarantee for the day you visit.

  • Foreign adult EGP 550; foreign student EGP 275.
  • Egyptian adult EGP 40; Egyptian student EGP 20.
  • The portal requires a valid student ID and sets an age limit of 24 for student eligibility.
  • The temple panorama is a separate tariff: foreign adult/student EGP 200/100 and Egyptian adult/student EGP 40/20, according to the ministry page.

What the ticket does not cover

A daytime monument ticket is not a package for the whole trip. This guide has not verified any boat fare, so no amount is quoted here.

  • The boat crossing to Agilkia Island is normally arranged and paid separately; agree the total before boarding.
  • An evening Sound and Light visit has its own booking, language, date and boat arrangements.
  • Guides, optional panorama views and personal expenses are separate items.
  • Confirm what your booking actually includes rather than assuming a combined price.

Where to buy

Use the official e-ticket portal linked in Sources for your date, category and conditions. This site is an independent guide, is not the official website of the monument, and does not sell tickets or take bookings. If a third party offers a ticket, compare it with the official portal before paying.

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

Can I buy a Philae Temple ticket at the entrance?+

The official e-ticket portal is the published channel for date, category and conditions. On-site arrangements can change, so check the portal before travelling rather than relying on an assumed ticket desk.

Is the boat included in the Philae Temple ticket?+

The boat crossing is normally paid separately from the monument ticket. This guide has not verified a current boat fare; agree the price, both directions and any waiting time with your provider before boarding.

Do students always get the reduced rate?+

The official portal requires a valid student ID and an age limit of 24. Check your category and document requirements on the portal for your date; eligibility is not decided by this guide.
