About the Site

Medinet Habu is the mortuary temple of Ramses III on Luxor's west bank, and one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt.

Its walls are covered with deeply carved battle scenes, including the famous sea battle against the 'Sea Peoples', and many reliefs still keep their bright colours.

Visiting tips

Often quieter than the other west bank sites; combine it with the Valley of the Queens.
