My Experience
Please see the following post for my own experience playing this game: Temple of Apshai Trilogy - 1984
Dungeon Floors
Each level has been mapped using DungeonScrawl. Clicking on a map will take you to a more detailed description as well as a raw text dump from the user manual of the room, trap and treasure descriptions. Traps and the exact locations of most treasures have been left as an exercise for the reader — that's where most of the fun is!
The Temple of Apshai
These four levels do not have specific names and give the strong impression that they are all part of the same larger dungeon.
"This underground temple is the last remembrance of the once mighty race of Apshai. Steel your sword well for the dangers that lie ahead. This may be a land of gems beyond compare, but it's also filled with monsters fierce and foul."

The Upper Reaches of Apshai
These four levels represent the inhabited space above the temple explored in the previous title and the general tone of play is much lighter.
"The small town sitting above the ruins of Apshai is now open to adventurers for exploration. The Innkeeper's Backyard, Merlis' Cottage, Olias' Cellar, and Benedic's Monastery offer everything from the dead refusing to stay in their graves to peculiar happenings in the vegetable garden."

The Curse of Ra
Finally, the player travels to a far-flung Ancient-Egypt-inspired land of sand, tombs and monuments.
"Welcome to the fabled land of Ra, home of the Sphinx, the Pyramid, the Altar of Ra, and through it all the Curse. This is the last of the Apshai journey, wherein you will learn the secret of the Curse, and perhaps learn your own fate."

Treasure Key
Below is an amalgam of the three treasure keys found within the user manual for the trilogy. Some of the combined treasures found within the dungeons may not have values that perfectly match. The weight of treasures is complicated to track due to so many items either mixed together or not described at all. In general though, most weights seem fair.
