Description

It was in the region of the former Thebes that Rameses III decided to build his temple. This funerary complex encompasses outbuildings, the priests' lodgings, the Royal Palace of Amenophis III and the Temple of Thutmosis. The Temple of Rameses III is reached via the Migdol, a defensive gate similar to that seen in Syrian fortresses, lending it a military appearance seen nowhere else in Egypt. In keeping with all of the most significant royal funerary complexes, it also includes the chapels of the Divine Adoratrices of Amun - small temples decorated with scenes of offerings.
