EGYPT - Philae

One of the main sites visited by almost every tour to Egypt is what is billed as Philae, but Philae is actually a nonexistent island now buried beneath Lake Nasser. What we refer to today as Philae is the main temple complex relocated from that island, after the High Dam was built, to the island of Agilika. Built to honor Isis, this was the last ancient temple built in the the classical Egyptian architectural style.
