Medinet Habu - Temple of Ramesses III - Royal Palace

On the south side of the temple are the remains of the Royal Palace. In the throne room can be seen the dais for the throne, with three shallow steps leading up to it. The roof of the throne room was borne on two columns and two pillars engaged in the rear wall (built of brick). To the left is a second dais, to the right a large bathroom. In a room to the west (perhaps the Queen's throne room) is a third dais; adjoining is a room for ablutions. To the west of the palace is a well, with steps leading down to it. At the sides of the steps are reliefs of the Nile gods dispensing water, Thoth and Horus sprinkling Ramesses III with water, and the King before Khons-Neferhotep.
