The island of Elephantine was an important trading and border center in southern Egypt, where a uniquely diverse multilingual, multicultural and multi-religious population lived. The special exhibition is dedicated to various aspects of this complex society in the form of themed islands.



During the tour, find out what legal forms there were, how the economy and trade worked, what role religion and cult played, how family life was structured or what importance medicine and science had.


Immerse yourself in the 4000-year cultural history of Elephantine!
