New Wadi es-Sebua

The complex contains three relocated temples - Temple of Wadi es-Sebua, Temple of Maharraqa, and Temple of Dakka - situated 4 kilometers west of their original location.

During the 1960s construction of the Aswan Dam, these temples were moved from their original positions to prevent submersion under the rising Nile waters.

The Temple of Dakka, dedicated to Thoth, represents the Greco-Roman period while the Temple of Maharraqa honors the deities Isis and Serapis.

The archaeological site welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with entry tickets priced at 150 Egyptian pounds for international tourists.

The Temple of Maharraqa remains incomplete, presenting an opportunity to examine ancient Egyptian construction methods and architectural planning techniques.
