The so-called Kiosk of Qertassi is an unfinished Roman kiosk that may date to the reign of Trajan. Originally located at Qertassi, the remains of the temple were relocated to New Kalabsha in Southern Egypt as part of the International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia in the twentieth century.
