Just south of Medinet Habu lies the ruined palace of Amenhotep III. The T-shaped 2.5 km. wide harbour, now known as “Birket Habu”, linked the royal residence to the Nile. The Arabic name “Malkata” refers to the place where things are picked up or found, as ancient debris still litter this enormous site. West into the gebels, near Wadi el Komb (“where things accumulate”), graffiti from Spanish pilgrims was found. The wadi beyond the cliffs of Taget Zayed ("the opening of Zayed"), hides the former cliff tomb of Hatshepsut.
