Travel Guide New Amada

The site took the name of the temple of Amada, built a few kilometres away, and which, when moved, was joined by two other monuments, the temple of Derr and the tomb of Penut. The temple of Amada was 2.5 kilometres from its present location. It has been moved from its original location using a hydraulic system on rails not exceeding 25 meters per day to preserve it. The brick pylon was erected under Seti I, while it was Ramses II who had the damage caused by the hammerings ordered under Akhenaten restored. The common entrance to the three monuments is 50 Egyptian pounds (yes, still in the middle of the desert...).
