The Temple of Montu at Tod

The Temple of Montu at Tod (ancient Djerty) - just 20 km south of Luxor - is seldom visited by tourists. Evidence shows that a 5th dynasty structure was built on the site, along with major temples during the 12th dynasty. Surviving architectural remains date to the reigns of Tuthmosis III and Ramesses III and IV, Ptolemy VIII, and the Roman period. The picturesque nature of the ruins and the quietness of the site (devoid as it is of other tourists and local hawkers) makes a visit to Tod a unique experience.
