Temple of Wadi es-Sebua Features
Approached by the remains of an avenue of sphinxes, this temple was built by Ramses II and dedicated to the deified pharaoh, Amun-Ra, and Ra-Harakhty. In the early 1960s, the temple was moved a short distance west to its current site.
Two colossi and statues of Ramses adorn the Temple of Wadi es-Sebua, which is partly carved directly into the rock. The inner sanctuary was converted into a Christian church and faint images of saints can be seen over the ancient reliefs.
Just to the north, the Temple of Dakka was begun by the Ethiopian king Arkamani in the 3rd century BC and added to in the Ptolemaic and Roman eras.
Dedicated to the god Thoth, it was originally 40 km (25 miles) further north. The huge pylon is still in good condition.
Also relocated here, the Temple of Maharraka dates from Roman times. The best remains can be found in the hypostyle hall.
