The Temple of Wadi el Seboua is an ancient Egyptian temple located in Nubia, near the modern-day town of Aswan. The temple was built during the reign of Ramses II in the 13th century BC. It was dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra, and Ptah.
The temple was originally located on the Nile riverbank, but was moved to its current location on higher ground in the 1960s to protect it from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The relocation involved dismantling the temple and moving it piece by piece to its new location.
The temple is known for its impressive facade, which features four large statues of Ramses II, each approximately 10 meters tall, seated on thrones. The temple also has several courtyards and halls adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphics.
The site of Wadi el Seboua also includes the remains of other ancient structures, including a smaller temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus. The area was an important center of trade and commerce in ancient times, and evidence of a large settlement has been found nearby.
Today, the Temple of Wadi el Seboua is a popular tourist attraction in Egypt, attracting visitors from around the world who come to marvel at its ancient architecture, learn about its history, and explore the surrounding area.
