Trip to Egypt, April 2005

Philae, First Courtyard


The modern landing.


The Kiosk of Nectanebo and the Western Colonnade are the first things you face.


To the right is the remains of the Chapel of Arensnuphis, a Nubian deity.


For a moment the Western Colonnade is free of tourists.
These columnheads are all differently designed.


Closeup.


Detail.


Wandering through the Western Colonnade towards the First Pylons.
