Our guide Maggie was superlative.
She had us early Philae, the Isis temple early and proceeded to give us a wonderful deep explanation of the full history of the site, from establishment as a Nubian temple, through New Kingdom, Greek and Roman periods.
She guided us through the Nubian Museum, explaining the significance of some very fine sculptural pieces of intensely human representations.
All and all a marvelous introduction to Egyptian history.
