Amada Wadi el Seboua

After breakfast, visit the Amada site*, its temple, the Temple of Derr, and the tomb of... more+ Pennout.
The visit to the Amada site is particularly enriching thanks to its temple, which was moved in one single block during the construction of the dam, a feat made possible through the efforts of Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, a French archaeologist specializing in Egyptology. Our guide will provide full explanations on the technique used. In the naos of the Temple of Derr, “the little Abu Simbel,” guests can recreate the miracle of Abu Simbel.
At the end of the visit, guests will enjoy a traditional Nubian coffee** and see a lake crocodile up close**.

The Temple of Amada: This structure, dedicated to Amun and Re-Horakhty, was built under Thutmose III and his son Amenhotep II (sanctuary and vestibule). Thutmose IV added the hypostyle hall, and Seti I the pylon. Seti I and his son Ramses II later contributed some restorations and decorations.

The rock-cut Temple of Derr (originally on the east bank): This 33-meter-long speos was built under Ramses II during the second half of his reign and is dedicated to Amun-Re. Its layout and orientation are identical to those of Abu Simbel, except for its smaller scale and absence of colossal statues. In the sanctuary, one can observe the same seated deities in the niche: Re-Horakhty, deified Ramses II, Amun-Re, and Ptah.

The funerary chapel of the Viceroy of Nubia, Pennout: “Royal son of Kush” under Ramses VI (20th Dynasty), Pennout was buried at Aniba, on the west bank opposite Qasr Ibrim. His tomb contains only a single room.

Navigation resumes toward Wadi es-Sebua*, which you will visit after lunch.
Site of Wadi es-Sebua: A unique visit to these jewels saved from the waters. Accompanied by our guide, you will walk between lake and desert from one temple to another, arriving at the Temple of Dakka and admiring its panoramic setting.

The Temple of Wadi es-Sebua: Built between year 35 and year 50 of Ramses II’s reign, this is the third rock-cut temple (hemispeos) the pharaoh had constructed in Nubia. The Temple of Amun, also called “Temple of Ramses-Beloved-of-Amun-in-the-Domain-of-Amun,” served as a resting place for the sacred barque during its journey down the Nile. The Arabs, inspired by the lion-bodied stone sphinxes guarding the central alley, named the site Wadi es-Sebua, the Valley of the Lions.

The Temple of Meharraka: This unfinished chapel dates from the Roman period. It is dedicated to the god Serapis and the goddess Isis. Serapis was a Greco-Alexandrian god whose cult was established at the end of the 4th century BCE. Combining attributes of Osiris and Zeus, he represents a syncretism between Egyptian and Greek religions. Serapis’s consort was the Egyptian goddess Isis, and together they had a son named Harpocrates.

The Temple of Dakka: Dedicated to Thoth, divine intelligence, master of sciences (time and accuracy), and lord of letters. This "divine house" faces north. Its orientation and the bas-reliefs of “the Distant One” allude to the flood and the strength of the inundation awaited each year in Egypt.

Sailing continues until sunset.
