The Philae Temple was built by the last dynasty of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaics. It is dedicated to Isis, the goddess of healing, birth, and magic, her husband Osiris, and their son Horus.

Walking along the Corniche and watching the sunset over the islands and desert across the Nile is a favorite pastime in Aswan. The view from riverside cafe terraces may be blocked by cruise boats, but plans are underway to relocate them to a dock that is being constructed at the northern end of town; for now, the best place to watch the sunset is from the Old Cataract Hotel terrace or the Sunset restaurant.
