Travel in Madrid

The Temple of Debod in Madrid, was a gift from Egypt to Spain in 1968 in compensation for Spanish aid after the international call made by UNESCO to save the temples of Nubia, mainly Abu Simbel in danger of disappearing due to the construction of the Aswan dam. Egypt donated four temples saved to different collaborating nations Dendur to the United States (is currently at the Metropolitan Museum in New York), Ellesiya to Italy (Egyptian Museum of Turin), Taffa the Netherlands (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden of Leiden) and Debod to Spain. 13 MAY 2016,MADRID,SPAIN (Photo by Joaquin Gomez Sastre/NurPhoto)
