He is famous in Egypt because of his work that resembles the way of working of the ancient artists that made the beautiful temples in Egypt. We are glad he is bringing that culture to life again in our project on many spots like the pillars in front, the reception desk, Merit Amun and the chapels.

In 1976 the temple was visited by a group of world leaders among whom the Aga Khan and the Prince of Denmark.
