Deir el Hagar : Coptic
The Egyptian Antiquities Service, in about 1990, approached the Dakhleh
Oasis Project to repair and restore this sandstone temple situated at
the far western end of the oasis. It was dedicated to the Theban
deities Amun, Mut and Khonsu , and was built and used in the reigns of
Roman emperors of the First Century A.D. The temple had fallen into
ruins and the Project restored it in three seasons with Egyptian
participation.
