History of the Temple of Maharraqa

The Temple of Maharraqa was originally situated here before it was subsequently relocated in the mid-1960s due to the High Dam project, It was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god's isis and Serapis, Since its former location was threatened by flooding from the Nile due to the construction of the Aswan high dam, this small temple was dismantled in 1961 by the Egyptian Antiquities Service.

Only a few years after the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC, the Kushites from another kingdom launched a raid on the first cataract of the Nile, After some negotiations, a permanent frontier between Meroë and Roman Egypt was established at Maharraqa. Thus, the Maharaja formed the extreme southern frontier of Roman Egypt After the Christian conversion of Nobatia in the 6th century the temple was turned into a church.

An architectural wonder of the Temple of Maharraqa is a spiral staircase that winds around a corner of the court and leads to the roof. The spiral staircase found here is unique among Egyptian temples in Nubia.
