Ramesseum

The Ramesseum is Ramses II’s funerary temple on the west bank. The 30-minute sunrise flight floats over it when the wind allows — pylons, statues, and courts from the basket, not a ticketed ground visit.

If the wind is wrong, you still fly the west-bank fields and temples; the Ramesseum is not a guaranteed waypoint.
