Medinet Habu Court EG053462JHP Ancient Egyptian Medinet Habu Temple Painted Colourful Columns Carving Ceiling located on the West Bank of the River Nile at Luxor and a complex of temples is now dominated by the mortuary temple of Ramasses 111. Apart from being in excellent condition generally, the second court in this photograph offers some breathtaking coloured reliefs ironically preserved under the white wash applied during the Christian era and the temple was used as a church. Not included in most standard tour packages, this temple is worth the effort to be visited privately.
