This district, the Whyt (village) of Philae, is located on the eastern shore, more or less opposite the Temple Island. Nowadays there is a Nubian village here, so there probably existed a settlement in ancient times too. It´s a teeming village, with all sorts of people, artisans who work on the temple, merchants, fishermen, potters, nobles spending their winters here,away from the chuilly north at MenNefer and of course all the priesthood who serve in the Temple of Aset/Isis.
