Travel Egypt Guide, map of egypt

Most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities, but Egypt offers much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world, including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments are popular. Yet Egypt also offers nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions. One may choose to relax on the wondrous Egypt Red Sea or Sinai coasts, take in the high culture of Cairo, or even leisurely float down the Egyptian Nile on a luxurious river boat.

Luxour - Medinet Habu

The Medinet Habu is the last great architectural work of the pharaonic period. Not long after Ramses 3 had it built in the 12th century BCE, was Egypt divided.
The Arabic name "Medinet Habu" is really not very good, completely unrelated to the original structure. "Mortuary Temple of Ramses 3" would have been correct. But locals believe that the place has a special magical significance.
The great model for Ramses 3's temple was the Ramesseum. This lead to decorations where Ramses 3 wages war against Ramses 2's enemies, enemies that since long were far from the military boundaries of his Egypt.
