The temple of Ramses III is one of the last of the great funerary structures to be built in Western Thebes, now known as Luxor, Egypt. Located in the Medinet Habu area of Luxor, it is currently the best-preserved temple in the ancient city. It's without a doubt a must for ancient Egyptian art and architecture lovers.
