A true Egyptian temple, gifted to Spain in 1968 as a token of gratitude for its help in preserving Nubian monuments. Surrounded by quiet gardens and reflective ponds, the temple looks especially beautiful at sunset when its silhouette is mirrored in the water. Inside, you can learn about its history and see ancient reliefs.

The park area near the temple is a favorite spot for both tourists and locals to watch the sunset.

My tip: Come here to catch the sunset. You’ll get a beautiful view of the palace, the cathedral, and the city’s surroundings, with musicians often performing, creating a magical atmosphere.
