The Temple of Dendur is gorgeous π€ – the room that it is located in makes it actually feel like you are along the Nile River ππππ ±ππππΊ in Egypt ππ ππ!
This room is one of my absolute favorite places – sometimes I like to sit on one of the benches and just enjoy the atmosphere of it! Visiting the temple only makes me want to go to Egypt ππ ππ more!
The temple πππ was actually commissioned by Augustus and building was complete by 10 B.C. Dendur is located in Nubia, and is just south of Aswan. Even though the temple πππ was built by Augustus, it definitely follows Egyptian style and not Roman style. The emperor is actually presented as a pharaoh ππ» worshipping Egyptian gods πΉπΉπΉ on the walls of the temple πππ. The temple πππ was primarily used to worship the goddess πΉπ Isis π¨ππ₯.
