Soleb is an antique town in Nubia, today's Sudan. The place lies something to the south of the third Nile cataract on the western side.
The place owns a big temple from sandstone which has been established by Amenhotep III. It is the known temple most southern up to now of this king. It was consecrated to the God Amun Re and the ruler himself. Architect was probably Amenhotep, son of Hapu.
With the town also vast necropolises of this time with the small tomb chapels which were decorated with pyramids were found. The tombs date above all in the 18th dynasty. Some discoveries come from ramesside and meroitic period.
