Great! Great! Great! Eastern fairy tale... All of Spain at your feet. P.S. Be sure to arrive at sunset.

At sunset is the best time to visit this temple. You can see the reflection of stones on the water like it was a mirror. It's surrounded by a garden with paths for walking around. If you can't get inside the temple it's ok... there is nothing to see inside

Get ready to be amazed : a 2000 year old temple, given to Spain in recognition of its help in saving other temples when the Aswan Dam was built.

You have to be impressed by a genuine Egyptian temple in the heart of Madrid that doesn't have an entry fee. We stumbled on the temple when out for a stroll one sunny April morning. It was really nice and we enjoyed it. It is small and this means queues can form quickly and get quite long. If that's the... More

This temple was given as a gift from Egypt to Spain for their assistance in saving Abu Simbel when the Aswan Dam was being constructed. It represents the powers of the world working together in...

Really only worth going inside if it's raining.. potential to be really intresting,but this poorly lit cubby hole is cramped and very dark.
