No tourists at the Medinet Habu Temple

Guards and a few tourists near Ramessid columns in the peristyle court at the ancient Egyptian site of Medinet Habu (1194-1163BC), the Mortuary Temple of Ramesses III in Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Medinet Habu is an important New Kingdom period structure in the West Bank of Luxor in Egypt. Aside from its size and architectural and artistic importance, the temple is probably best known as the source of inscribed reliefs depicting the advent and defeat of the Sea Peoples during the reign of Ramesses III.
