History
The ancient monument referred to as "Trajan's Kiosk" or the "Pharaoh's Bed" is an incomplete hypaethral temple that dates to the second century CE. The monument is currently located on Agilkia Island although it was originally built on the island of Philae. It was relocated in the 1960s as part of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia.
