It is the only temple built on three levels, directly into the rock face, and is unique in its design, with shrines to Hathor and Anubis.
Medinet Habu Temple
Visit to Medinet Habu Temple, the mortuary temple of Ramesis III. This strikingly beautiful temple was built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III.
