As mentioned, terrible sandstorm destroyed any chance of getting decent pix at the Aswan dam. So we headed over to Philae Temple. One of several temples threatened when they were building the damn, so they moved the entire thing to a new island. Amazing piece of engineering work.
Can only get there by small ferry boats
Side view of Philae Temple from the boat
From courtyard into first inner chamber. Philae Temple
Inside the first chamber, Philae Temple.
Carvings, Philae Temple
The Philae Temple had outer building for worship as well. Sitting on an island in Aswan
View of the backside of the island from the boat.
