Habu Wall Hierogylphs EG053424JHP Medinet Habu Temple Ancient Egypt Wall Hieroglyphs Pylon Addition Construction located on the West Bank of the River Nile at Luxor and a complex of temples is now dominated by the mortuary temple of Ramasses 111. Apart from being in excellent condition generally, it offers much to see including some beautiful and detailed reliefs, the best coloured are in the second court and especially its scale and trying to understand its many later additions. Not usually included in most standard tour packages, this temple is worth the effort to be visited privately.
