Aswan - Kiosk of Trajan

On the south side of the Philae island stands this handsome but unfinished building, with 14 great columns bearing beautifully carved floral capitals. Reliefs show Trajan offering incense and wine to Isis, Orisis and Horus. the elegance of the kiosk has made it the characteristic symbol of Philae.
