There’s something about seeing a man hanging upside down from a pole that immediately grabs your attention — especially when that man is spinning around 20 meters above the ground with nothing but a rope tied to his ankle.

Step aside, tourist-packed temples—Medinet Habu is where history whispers loudest in the silence. Tucked away on the west bank of Luxor, this sprawling complex is the mortuary temple of Ramses III, and it might just be Egypt’s most underrated marvel. If you’re into ancient graffiti, epic battles, or walls that still wear their original color, this place is your new obsession.
