Description

This edifice was a shelter for Isis's bark for her journey to the Island of Biggeh, Osiris's resting place. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in Philae and has 14 columns, each with a differently decorated capital. Some bear the effigy of the goddess Hathor. You can also see the cartouche of Emperor Trajan.
