Amada - Rock Temple of El-Derr

Near the Amada Temple stands another temple moved from its original site to save it from being submerged, the Rock Temple of El-Derr. Before its removal in 1964 it was the only Nubian temple on the right bank of the river, situated some 7mi/11km southwest of New Amada near the district capital of El-Derr (now beneath Lake Nasser). This "Temple of Ramesses in the house of Re", dedicated to the sun god Re-Harakhty, is also oriented north and south. The pylon and the court constructed in front of the rock cut temple have disappeared.
