Temple in Upper Egypt

Mud brick enclosure dating back to New Kingdom with temples of Nekhbet and Thoth built by Thutmose III and Amenhotep III, Ramses II and later Pharaos as well as remains of ancient town. there are Old Kingdom Mastabas just outside the enclosure. There are further tombs and temples further into the desert, but these are pretty much inacessible on account of requiring armed police escorts.
