Deir el-Shelwit is an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, built during the Greco-Roman period on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor, approximately 1 km from Malkata and 4 km south of Medinet Habu. Only the small main building, ruins of a lavishly decorated propylon located 60 meters to the east, a brick enclosure wall, and a well survive today [1]. The temple reflects the continued veneration of Isis during the Roman period, when Egyptian deities gained popularity across the Mediterranean [1].
