Even Ramses II had a very important contribution to the building of the temple. The temple was built near the Nill river following it from north to south. Travellers who come here can also see the some of the most fabulous statues of the temple. Starting to the entrance gate tourists can see the King Ramses II statue, seated on its throne.
Ramses II constructed its own court and the reliefs cover the interior walls. The Court of Rameses II has no more and no less than 57 m length and 168 51 m width. It’s awesome at night, when the shrine of Ramses II is lit up and then tourists most want to visit it. The walls of the court are covered by significant signs, scenes that show the most important moments of conquered nations. It’s a very pleasant place and attractive which surely deserves to visit it.
