The only way to go is by boat and it is a breathtaking trip. Once you reach ask for Saad the monument keeper and he will guide you through the history of the temple and how it was moved to its current location after the Nile flood back in the days.

Dod is a great tour guide. She is very knowledgeable about Philae Temple and High Dam. And as a woman traveling solo, It was nice to have a woman tour guide.
