Medinet Habu

The mortuary temple complex spans 150 meters in length and features massive mudbrick walls with decorated gates, courtyards, and ceremonial chambers.

Ramesses III constructed this mortuary temple between 1187 and 1156 BCE, which later transformed into a Coptic settlement through the 9th century.

The temple walls display detailed relief carvings depicting military victories, religious ceremonies, and the daily activities of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The temple opens from 6 AM to 5 PM with entrance fees of 100 EGP for adults and 50 EGP for students with valid identification.

The preserved Window of Appearances remains intact, where pharaohs presented themselves to the public and distributed rewards to officials.
