Travel Guide Temple De Soleib معبد صلب

This temple is one of the last testimonies of Egyptian domination over Kush in the New Empire. At that time, the pharaohs ruled on northern Sudan through vice-kings, who were powerful military leaders to be able to counter any rebellion in this region, never fully submitted. Today, only the temple of Soleib again recalls the splendour of this period. The temples of Sedeinga and Sesibi have not withstood the onslaught of time as well. Qunt to the temples of the fortresses of Semna and Bouhen, they were dismantled to be rebuilt in the garden of the National Museum in Khartoum! Further north, many remains of the Middle and New Empire were engulfed by the waters of Nasséro-Nubian Lake.Note the very low level of infrastructure on the West Shore. The best ways to visit it are still 4 x 4 and the tent. If you have all your time, stick to the barges and the few local, much more picturesque vehicles.
