Maru-Aten, short for Pa-maru-en-pa-aten (The Viewing-Palace-of-the-Aten), is a palace or sun-temple located 3 km to the south of the central city area of the city of Akhetaten (today's el Amarna). It is thought to have been originally constructed for Akhenaten's queen Kiya, but on her death her name and images were altered to those of Meritaten, his daughter. This site is now lost beneath modern fields, but was excavated first by Barsanti in 1896 and more fully by Leonard Woolley in 1921.

| - Maru-Aten, short for Pa-maru-en-pa-aten (The Viewing-Palace-of-the-Aten), is a palace or sun-temple located 3 km to the south of the central city area of the city of Akhetaten (today's el Amarna). It is thought to have been originally constructed for Akhenaten's queen Kiya, but on her death her name and images were altered to those of Meritaten, his daughter. This site is now lost beneath modern fields, but was excavated first by Barsanti in 1896 and more fully by Leonard Woolley in 1921. The Maru-Aten consists of two adjacent enclosures, one slightly larger than the other. Both enclosures contained shallow pools and garden areas planted with trees. Some interesting features of the sunshade include:
* The larger of the lakes held a long and narrow causeway with a pier. On one end was a decorated kiosk.
* The north-east corner of the large enclosure shows an artificial island surrounded by water. On the island a stone platform with offering tables was erected (2 on the plan).
* Behind the artificial island, a pillared structure provided shade to a collection on T-shaped water basins (number 4). The basins were surrounded by a gypsum pavement decorated with scenes from nature. (en)

El sitio fue descubierto por el arqueólogo británico Leonard Woolley en 1921. En la década de 1960-70, el lugar fue destruido cuando el gobierno estableció un plan de riego en la zona. Actualmente Maru-Atón está enterrado bajo campos de cultivo. Únicamente se conservan una isla artificial de forma cuadrada, una estructura con columnas y el pavimento que los rodeaba y que estaba decorado con motivos naturales. La mayoría de los pavimentos encontrados se exhiben en el Museo de Bolton, en el Reino Unido. (es)
