Description

Referred to by many as the last great pharaoh of Egypt, Ramesses III built an impressive temple on Luxor’s west bank, at a site today known as Medinet Habu. In this day course we will explore the art, architecture and historical significance of this great monument, but we will also consider Hatshepsut and Thutmose III’s extremely important temple to Amun, and the chapels dedicated to influential priestesses, also located here.
