Sesebi

Sesebi is an archaeological site on the Nile in northern Sudan, between the Second and Third Cataracts. It was a walled Egyptian temple town founded under Akhenaten in the 14th century BCE, with temples, houses and storerooms laid out on a grid, and was still in use under Seti I. It is one of the best-known planned towns of Egypt's rule over Nubia.
