Thebes - Medinet Habu

Prominently situated in the plain to the southeast of the Valley of the Queens, against the backdrop of the desert hills, is the most southerly temple complex in the Theban necropolis, Medinet Habu. It takes its name ("City of Habu") from a Christian village, now abandoned, which grew up within the area of the temple from the fifth C. onwards and was named after the wise Amenhotep, son of Habu.
