Iu-miteru (iw-mitrw/jw-mjtrw - the island in the river) was an ancient Egyptian town in the fourth Upper Egyptian nome, near Gebelein.Elisa Fiore Marochetti (2009) The Reliefs of the Chapel of Nebhepetra Mentuhotep at Gebelein, pp. 7-8 The town is often mentioned in Ancient Egyptian texts and was the place for a temple for Sobek. From an inscription found at the Wadi Hammamat it seems certain that the place was at the Southern border of the Fourth Upper Egyptian nome. Modern identification of the location of Iu-Miteru remains uncertain. The ruins of a temple of Sobek were discovered in Naga' Awlad Dahmash (Rizeiqat), which could thus be the ancient Iu-miteru.Farouk Gomaa, Besiedlung Ägyptens im Mttleren Reich, Volume I, Wiesbaden 1986, , pp. 122-125
