📍The first gate of Habu City is the unique Libyan-style Migdol gate, which stands tall for easy observation and communication.
📍The second gate is the thick and majestic traditional Egyptian pylon gate, with reliefs on it depicting Ramses III's conquests and the offering of captives to Amun.
📍The columned hall of Habu City has been destroyed in an earthquake, and now only the huge column bases remain. However, the first and second courtyards still retain various Pharaoh statues, relief paintings, and even today, the splendor of ancient Egypt can still be glimpsed.
