Temple of Umm Ubayda
معبد أم عبيدة
Another Amun temple ruin near the Oracle Temple, with only one inscribed wall remaining.
The Temple of Umm Ubayda was built by Pharaoh Nectanebo II of the 30th Dynasty and was also dedicated to Amun. It lies about 1 km south of the Oracle Temple. In the late 19th century, local officials blew it up to quarry its stone, and today only a single wall remains, carved with hieroglyphs and reliefs, standing alone among the date palms. A visit is brief. It is usually a quick photo stop on the way to the Oracle Temple or Cleopatra’s Spring.
