this temple is a hidden gem on the westbank, no travel agencys come here so take the local ferry at luxor temple (LE 1) and ask one of the cabdrivers to take you there. stop atthe ticket office first and the max fair is LE 50 while he waits for you to finish the visit

A good example of a 18th dy temple ,however much damage as been done to the wall scenes, perhaps leave it to the connoisseurs, again dont ask any questions for you will get silly answers, look for the young lady who is the resident egyptologist,she is approachable

On 24 December 2011 around noon, we were the only visitors… In one hand very good so: peaceful, magic, quiet. Meeting Sethi I. almost personally talking to us. In the other hand very sad for the locals, that so very few tourist visit Egypt! This temple is maybe not the most important building of Sethi I., but worth a visit... More

I liked the avenue of trees, a unique feature. It's got really good hieroglyphs, if your into that.

Yes we visited and as with everything we saw in Luxoir and its environs we were in awe at the splendour. Reading the historical background either before or after the visit puts everything in perpesctive.

Nothing compares to Abydos. Once you have seen this temple you can imagine what the rest must have been like. Also you can really appreciate the difference between the part of the Temple built during Seti's reign and that of his successor Ramses II.

This site is often missed by the majority of tourists, but is well worth a visit. Situated in the village of Qurna, the temple features areas dedicated to the cult of Ramesses I, Seti I and Ramesses II. Within the temple, the reliefs are extremely well-preserved. Amongst, the scenes depicted are: offerings to deities, Seti I being suckled by Hathor,... More
