One of the largest and best preserved temples of Luxor, this million year old mansion is located in the Theban necropolis in Upper Egypt, across the River Nile. History says the temple belonged to the great warrior king Ramesses II. A tour into the temple will let you get a glimpse of the fallen colossus that inspired Bysshe Shelleys to write the poem, Ozymandias. The first and second pylon depicts battle scenes from the Battle of Qadesh. Behind the pylon, the ruins of the huge court remain. The complex also includes the palace of the king, store rooms and granaries, built by mud brick.
