1. The Philae or Isis Temple stood on Philae Island south of Aswan, and after the construction of the high dam, the temple was under water for several months of the year. Therefore, the temple was transferred to the neighboring island of Agilika from 1977 to 1980. In 553 AD, the temple served as a church, so much of the relief in the temple was destroyed.

About Hurghada

Hurghada är en semesterort vid Röda havet på Egyptens fastlandskust, omtyckt för korallrev, varmt vatten, ökenutflykter och enkla stranddagar.

Staden sträcker sig längs kusten, från den äldre stadsdelen El Dahar med sin souk och fiskmarknad till marinan vid Sakkala och resortremsan i söder. Utanför kusten kryllar Röda havets rev och öar av färgglada fiskar och korallträdgårdar, och ibland syns delfiner, vilket gör snorkling och dykning till de främsta dragplåstren.
