Panorama of philae temple

The Temple of Isis is the principal temple on Philae Island, and one of its most significant architectural features is the temple panorama. This refers to the temple's roof, which includes  the Osiris chapel. The roof can be accessed via a staircase on the western side of the inner courtyard.

Upon reaching the roof, which is paved, one is immediately confronted with a chamber on each of its four sides. Stairs lead directly to these chambers, which were dedicated to the god Osiris.

In the northeast corner, there is a small, undecorated chamber. In the southeast corner, the chamber’s floor is missing, offering a view of the hall below.

The most important chamber is located in the southwest corner, dedicated to Osiris. It is situated behind the second pylon of the temple in the southwest corner of the roof. Access to this chamber is via a descending staircase leading to the open courtyard of the shrine.

The southern wall of this courtyard contains the entrance to the second chamber of the shrine, a significant architectural feature.

The scenes inside this chamber depict the mysteries of Osiris's death and resurrection, as well as the religious rituals performed during the month of Khoiak each year. Additionally, this chamber provides the most beautiful view of the Nile flood, which emerges from Osiris’s left leg.
