Elephantine is an archaeological island on the Nile Riverbank, which was the gateway into Egypt for all traders entering from Nubia.
Many different monuments await you here, including the remains of ancient houses that belongs to the temple of the god of the annual Nile flood khnum , and the temple of the goddess who guarded Egypt's Sothern frontiers, Satet, who was also associated with the annual Nile flood. Make sure you don't miss the Nilometer or the nearby museum, where the objects discovered by the German archaeological mission that works on the island are on display. The island of Elephantine was inscribed on UNESCO'S World Heritage List in 1979.
