This temple was constructed in the Valley of the Lions by Ramesses II (c. 1250 BCE) in honour of the gods Amun Ra and Ra Harmakhis. The back of the temple is hollowed out in the rock.
In the foreground stands the king's statue and a "dromos" of sphinxes, which have given the place its Arabic name.

Wadi-es-Sebui, Nubia, Egypt (1960)
