Six colossal 10-meter-high statues dominate the entrance facade depicting Ramses II and Queen Nefertari. Unusually, the queen is the same size as the pharaoh.
Flanking the statues are smaller figures of the royal children, the princesses (depicted with their left foot advanced in front of them) being larger than the Princes.

From the Transverse Chamber, three doors lead into three small rooms at the farthest end of the temple.
In the center is the rectangular Sanctuary, which could be entered only by the king.
Don't Miss: On the right-hand and left-hand walls, Ramses II is depicted burning incense.
On the rear wall are larger-than-life-size figures of Ptah, Amun-Re, the pharaoh himself, and Re-Harakhty (from left to right), again giving expression to Ramses II's complete equality with the gods.
In front of the figures is the square base, hewn from the rock, of the sacred barque, which was kept here.
