Temple is located 140 km south of Aswan "in the old Nubia" on the shore of Lake Nasser. Wadi Sabwa Temple, built by Ramses II, is dedicated to God Amun and works as a sacred bark while descending on the Nile.
The name of Wadi Sabwa Temple is baptized by the Arabs, inspired by the shape of the stone rams with the corpses of the lion guarding the central corridor.
Threatened by flood water due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam; the temple was dismantled and moved to a new higher site 4 km west of the original site. In the nineteenth century, converting the temple to a church and covering part of the representation made it the representation of preserving the original in the back.
