The Ramasseum
A large collection of Ramasseum photos is available on my
own online library Crooktree.com or on
Alamy.com to view in larger format and also
to purchase.
The Mortuary Temple of Ramses 11 and made famous as one of the fallen statues
of the Pharaoh are the inspiration from Shelley's poem Ozymandias. It is usually
not included in the usual Nile cruise package but is worth a visit, along with
the Medinet Habu, arranged privately should you have a free half day; a few Tombs of the
Nobles could be squeezed in as well. Take a taxi from the East Bank and call at
the ticket office just past the Colossi of Memnon and purchase your tickets for
the sites you wish to visit. Local custodians are only to willing to help and
make sure you see all the important parts of the site.
