Karnak Temple.
Karnak Temple lay buried under sand for more than 1,000 years before excavation work began in the mid 19th century. The huge task of restoring this five acre temple continues until today.
Philae Temple.
This temple is dedicated to the Goddess Isis, with the oldest sections dating back to between 380 BC and 362 BC. With the building of the High Dam in 1971, Philae Temple was relocated to the nearby island of Agilika; a UNESCO-led project that took over nine years to complete and saw the island pumped dry, every stone block of the temple complex individually labelled, dismantled and reassembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
Luxor Temple.
Luxor Temple is a remarkably delicate work of architecture, originally built by Pharaoh Amenophis and added to over the ages by various rulers, including Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a god or a king, but to kingship. It is thought to have been the site where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned.
El Nabatat Island, or Kitchener’s Island.
Presented to Lord Kitchener in the 1890s as a reward for leading the Egyptian army's successful campaigns in Sudan. He made the island his home and filled it with exotic flowers and rare plants from as far as India and Malaysia. This delightful island is less than 1 kilometre long and ½ kilometre wide.
