The small temple of Nekhbet-Hathor

The small temple of Nekhbet-Hathor
or as it also known by the name
Temple of Amenhotep III.
It is actually a small chapel, and was a way station for the barque of Nekhbet.
Two kings are represented here, Amenhotep III and Thutmose IV.
Perhaps Thutmose IV started to build it and Amenhotep III finished it.
In front of the entry has been a small hypostyle room with four columns.
At the front walls, beside the entry, can be found text by Prince Khaemwaset
son of Ramses II and old graffiti.
Inside the chapel
there are four columns with Hathoric capitols
The chapel is about 4km into the desert
from the main surrounding wall of el-Kab.
18th dynasty.
