• Book a free time slot online ahead; the city recommends it because the temple gets busy
• Not stroller or wheelchair friendly: small rooms, uneven floors and steps at the doorways
• Hands off the walls: the soft sandstone wears away at the lightest touch, so remind kids before going in

A real Egyptian temple, built more than 2,200 years ago for Amun and Isis, rescued from the rising Nile and given to Spain in 1968 for its help saving the Abu Simbel temples. Inside are small, dim rooms with carved reliefs and a low-ceilinged terrace level. Outside, it stands over a pool, a short walk from Plaza de España.
