Temple of Amun, Siwa Oasis

If you’re making the long journey to Egypt’s Siwa Oasis, be sure not to miss the historic Temple of Amun. This significant religious site was dedicated to the Egyptian sun god Amun and home to an oracle – a purported manifestation of a god. Alexander the Great famously visited the Temple of Amun during his time in Egypt.

Today, the temple is in a poor state of preservation. Nonetheless, with some imagination, it’s not hard to picture what a grand building it would have been during its heyday. Visitors can follow in the steps of Alexander the Great by observing the temple and admiring the panoramic views of the Siwa Oasis.
