The Temple of Amada is an ancient Egyptian temple located in Nubia, near the modern-day border between Egypt and Sudan. It was originally constructed during the 18th Dynasty under the reigns of Pharaohs Thutmose III and Amenhotep II, and later embellished by Thutmose IV. The temple is dedicated to the deities Amun and Re-Horakhty. Noteworthy for its well-preserved reliefs and inscriptions, the Temple of Amada provides valuable insights into the art and religious practices of the New Kingdom period.
