From Aswan, getting to the island where the Philae Temple complex is located requires riding a boat departing from Marina Philae Temple. The temples that make up the complex usually referred to as the Philae Temple are now located on the island of Agilkia. Originally on the island of Philae, the temples had to be moved so that they could be rescued from being submerged during the Aswan High Dam construction.

The approach by boat to the island that is home to the Philae Temple Complex is almost as enjoyable as exploring the temple itself. Because of its relocation, the temples are in better condition than many that we have seen during our Nile River Cruise.
Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind. - Anthony Bourdain
