The name Wadi Es-seboua in Arabic means “Valley of the Lions”, referring to the avenue of sphinxes that leads up to this temple, which was built during the reign of Ramesses II. Though it was moved to its current location only in the1960’s, it was quickly forgotten and neglected.
Return back to your Lake Nasser cruise ship to set sail to Amada to visit the Temple of Amada and the Temple of Derr and the Tomb of the Viceroy of Nubia Pennut. The Temple of Amada was built during the 18th Dynasty (c. 1550–1295 BC) in the New Kingdom. Amada Temple is one of the oldest of the ancient Egyptian monuments lying along the shores of Lake Nasser. The reliefs and inscriptions of the temple are very well preserved because they were covered with a layer of plaster when it was converted into a church. Overnight in Amada.

The Great Temple was built for Ramses II (1279-1213 BC), while the Small Temple was built for his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari.
