Have waited most of my life to see this place, well worth the wait !

Doing some research before our holiday I noticed The Rasmesseum in my guide book and decided I wanted to include it in our list of places to visit, even though no organised trips actually included it. This was one of the reasons we decided to travel independently. A lot of the Temple is visible from the road, but you do... More

We we almost alone when we visited the ramasseum and that added to the splendour of the place. It's not the most intact temple or the most colourful. But there is just something very special about it.

This is where Belzoni managed to move the head of the statue of Ramesses from if you watched the wonderful BBC series of Egypt(2005)Worth visiting just to see what it must have been.

Liked : Everything Disliked : Nothing Made famous by Shelley's Ozymandius (SP?)

Easy to look round with information boards at various locations. I had a guide to take me around but could be done without.

It is amazing how well preserved everything is all these thousands of years later...incredible.

Brilliant. Small and amazing. Then go home and read Ozymandias.

A very impressive place to visit and find out about the history of Ramses II.
