The temple was marked as a convey of Egyptian supremacy for whoever intended to approach Egypt from the south. To the north of the temple is the smaller temple of Hathor, which was built in honor of Ramses’ wife Nefertari. Both these temples are the best-known archeological sites of Egypt. The huge sandstone statues carved into the temple facades and the decorated interiors with art and hieroglyphics should not be missed.
