    Marvellous temple ruins in a charming village setting

    This temple is ruinous, and it's rather difficult to find, being set amid a rural village a few km south of Luxor. It's really one for the specialist archaeologist or Egyptologist, or those who fancy a scenic drive. If you are indeed a specialist, this...More

    This temple is in a very ruined state. Most of the surviving temple is Ptolemaic, with a small structure that bears the names of Thutmose III and Ramesses II. The area still gets flooded, and you can see the damage it causes to the stone...More

    I can honestly say that I was not expecting this temple to be more than a few walls and some reliefs - I was wrong. This is still a small site, but the quality of the reliefs that remain are in an excellent state of...More
