Amada The site of Amada is just South of the city of Aswan, also know as the southern gateway of Egypt. Amada is best reached by cruising along the Nile or across the quiet waters of Lake Nasser. Amada is the oldest surviving structure on Lake Nasser, and it has some of the finest carvings in any Nubian temple. The temple was started by Egyptian king Tuthmosis III in the 15th century BCE, and continued to be built by his successors. Much of the temple has been well preserved, and travelers will enjoy visiting this amazing site. |
