Directions

The Temple of Amada is one of the oldest Egyptian temples in Nubia, built during the 18th Dynasty by Pharaoh Thutmose III. Dedicated to Amun-Ra and Horakhty-Ra, it underwent modifications by various pharaohs over the years. The temple features well-preserved reliefs and inscriptions depicting temple rituals and military exploits. Converted into a church in the medieval period, it was relocated in the 1960s as part of a preservation effort. Today, visitors can admire its vibrant interior with colorful reliefs and learn about its rich history.
