This linked image to additional information gives a nice aerial view of this beautiful temple ruin. You can see the sacred pond, and what's left of the outer wall, that once surrounded the entire complex.

 

The front gateway

 

With reminders of the prowess and harsh justice of the victorious Pharaoh, Rameses III

 

 

The actual gate and traditional shape of the main entrance to the temple
