The Temples of Wadi es-Sebua were created by two New Kingdom Egyptian pharaohs under Ramesses II and Amenhotep III respectively. Both temples feature pylons and an inner rock-cut sanctuary. The structures were subsequently moved to a new location in the 1960's due to the construction of the Aswan Dam

[edit] Temple of Maharraqa

The temple of Maharraqa was an Ancient Egyptian Roman period temple that was never completed.

[edit] Temple of Dakka

The Greco-Roman Temple of Dakka, dedicated to Thoth, is today located at the New Wadi es-Sebua area.
