What you see
You visit the temple for its Battle of Kadesh reliefs on the pylon, its columned halls and the remains of a fallen colossus of Ramses II. The structures are ruined, but the scale is still impressive. Bring water, a hat and good shoes: there is little shade. Take a guide if you want to understand the scenes.
