The Temple of Philae was a temple dedicated to Sobek on Philae Island, located south of the city of Aswan in Egypt. The waters surrounding it were filled with crocodiles. In the 1960s it was dismantled and reconstructed on a nearby island to protect the complex before the completion of the Aswan High Dam.

History

At some point, the Temple was taken over by The Medicine, a member of the Order of the Ancients, who would stay in a room she could barricade and surrounded by guards. Hidden One Khepri, on a mission to assassinate The Medicine, obtained a map of the temple in Aswan before swimming to the island while avoiding the crocodiles.

At Philae, Khepri waited a bit on the shore to drip so as to avoid leaving a trail or making noise before climbing the temple and entering it. She found a group of guards around a locked door, sketched their locations on the map and figured out a route that allowed her to kill all of them without being noticed. She tried the door, but found it barricated from the inside. Khepri called out to her target, pretending to be one of the guards, to lure her out. Habibah opened the door, looked at Khepri and noted that she didn't expect a woman, a sentiment that Khepri also admitted to before plunging her Hidden Blade into Habibah's heart. After Habibah passed, Khepri opened a chest, revealing half of an Isu dagger which she took with her, swimming back as the crocodiles entered the temple and consumed the fresh bodies there.
