Hello Sarah!

Tamit was a Christian Nubian city on the Nile which now lies in Southern Egypt. The ruins of 8 churches have been studied before the area was completely submerged by Lake Nasser in 1964/65.

Localisation[modify | modify the code]
Tamit was situated on the left bank of the Nile, between the first and the second cataract, a few kilometres to the north-east of Abou Simbel, à environ 70 kilomètres de la ville frontalière soudanaise de Wadi Halfa et à mi-chemin entre les anciennes villes de Qustul et Qasr Ibrim. En face se dressait la petite église de Kaw sur la rive opposée du fleuve.
