Presentation of the Roman Temple at Deir el Hagar in Egypt
Conservation and preservation measures were designed to open part of the historic temple site of Deir el Hagar, located in the Dakhleh Oasis in Egypt, to the general public. The ruined complex, dated to the early years of Roman rule in Egypt, was part of a large settlement within an extensive Roman agricultural scheme. The site was abandoned when water was no longer available, and it became engulfed in sand dunes for centuries. Known since its emergence from the dunes in early nineteenth century, the temple ruin is one of the major historic landmarks in the Dakhleh Oasis. This paper describes the measures that were undertaken to stabilize and preserve the ruined temple structure. Work completed in the 1990s included clearing fallen stone elements and sand deposits from the temple complex, partial rebuilding using original elements, and installation of a modern site information facility.
