Qasr al-Ghweita

Egypt, Kharga view map

This picturesque fortress commands a strategic view of the entire area. Little remains of the buildings of the village. The fortress dominates the hilltop. It could well have been headquarters during the Roman times.

The present temple was originally constructed by Darius I with additions by Ptolemies III, IV and X.
