Valley of Lions Attractions

 
Some 87mi/140km south of Aswan, in the Wadi el-Sebwa ("Valley of Lions"), is the well preserved Temple of Sebwa, in Egyptian Per-Amun ("House of Amun"), now re-built at New Sebwa, 2.25mi/4km west of its original site. It was built by Ramesses II on the same plan as the Temple of Gerf Husein, now engulfed by the waters of Lake Nasser, and was dedicated to Amun and the sun god Re-Harakhty, and also to the cult of the deified Ramesses himself.
