The Karnak Temple, one of ancient Egypt's most magnificent religious complexes, is located on the east bank of Luxor, spanning over 100 hectares. Constructed around 4,000 years ago and expanded by generations of pharaohs, it was dedicated to the Theban triad: Amun, his consort Mut, and their son Khonsu. The iconic Great Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 massive columns adorned with intricate reliefs, showcases Egypt’s architectural brilliance. Highlights like the Sacred Lake, Obelisks (such as Queen Hatshepsut’s), and Solar Barque Shrine reflect its spiritual and political significance. The nightly sound-and-light show vividly brings its glorious past to life, leaving visitors in awe.
