The pharaoh who built temples for the sun god Ra was Pharaoh Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV. He is best known for promoting the worship of Aten, the sun disk, and establishing a new religious order centered around this deity. His reign marked a significant shift in ancient Egyptian religion, moving away from traditional polytheism. Notably, he constructed the sun temple at Karnak and the city of Akhetaten (modern-day Amarna) dedicated to Aten.
