Ramses III built a magnificent temple in Hab City, which covered the glory of Hatshepsut and Tutmus III's Amon temple here and became the symbol of Hab City. The reason why it can be called the "city" instead of the Hab Temple is that it is a complex of buildings, including palaces, temples and tombs. It was the last large-scale construction project during the pharaoh's reign and a monument to Egypt's last period of prosperity. It was originally a royal residence. The first was a place for ceremonies and entertainment. The second was occupied by churches in Ptolemy and Roman times. In addition, there were three multi-pillar halls. On the left side of the second hall was the tomb of Ramses III. The exterior walls of the temple are engraved with famous panoramic reliefs. Hab City has long been the economic center of Thebes. It was still inhabited in the 9th century A.D. and was destroyed thereafter.

    Renting a bicycle is good, you can stop anywhere you can go [naughty] Ramses III's mausoleum is also called the Hab Temple, and in the Coptic era, it was a quite large city [dazed] and its area is second only to the Temple of Amon. It was the last great construction project of the Pharaoh period and the monument of the last rich period of ancient Egypt. It was originally a royal residence, the first courtyard was a place for ceremonies and entertainment, and the second courtyard was occupied by churches during the Ptolemy and Roman times. In addition, there are three multi-pillar halls, and the outer left of the second hall is the tomb of Ramses III. The exterior wall of the temple is engraved with famous panoramic reliefs.

    Hab is an ancient Egyptian city in Luxor, and the buildings here are very well preserved. Temples, streets, and palaces have been raining for thousands of years, but they are still quite well preserved, and the dry climate of this fish is inseparable. The ancient city's spectacular architecture, exquisite murals, and mysterious patterns and texts are fascinating.

    Hab is not as famous as Luxor's other temples, but it is a very important ancient city in Egyptian history. The second wife of Ramses III assassinated Pharaoh and seized the right of inheritance for his son Pantevilla. After the assassination failed, all the conspirators were arrested and executed. So here has experienced very important historical events, many murals reflect the content of the murder, it is very worthy of tourists and archaeologists to come here to explore in detail.
