Medinet Habu Temple

Medinet Habu – Temple of Ramses III

Medinet Habu is one of the best-preserved and most impressive temples on Luxor’s West Bank. Built by Pharaoh Ramses III, this massive mortuary temple was not only a place of worship but also a fortified complex symbolizing power and protection.

Its towering walls are covered in detailed reliefs depicting military victories — including dramatic scenes of battles against the Sea Peoples — and vibrant religious rituals. The temple’s structure is grand, with colossal statues, colorful pillars, and a peaceful inner sanctuary.
