Wheb we arrived there we saw a massive epitaph. It was alone because pair was moved to İstanbul. It was amazing place. I loved all off details, sculptures along to the sky. All of it almost 2 meters. Also causing to swells were wonderful and written there carefully. Absolutely you have to visit that place if you have been Luxor. But you should aware harassment. They have been too much.

Really amazing historical temple. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Luxor. It's not a far walk from the public ferry, maybe 20 to 25 minutes along the river. Go early in the day though, it gets crowded.

Just amazing! Visit at sunrise if you can and avoid the crowds. Huge complex and worth walking down the avenue of the Sphinxes to Luxor Temple

A 3500-4000 year old structure and it's really fascinating. It's hard not to admire here. There is always something in the details of the structure that will surprise you, and most of all, how did they build these huge columns? One thinks. It's an amazing structure and definitely worth a visit.

This temple complex is massive! It has many historical significance for the worshippers of the god Theban Triad. There are many pillars and pylons unique to this temple. Some of the inner sanctuary rooms are extremely well preserved with colorful murals. Much of the temple complex is still under excavation, with tens of thousands of stone pieces marked and stored in a large field.

The most impressive temple that we visited during our stay in Egypt! It is an open air museum! I can't describe with words what i felt when i was there looking all the ancient monuments of egyptian civilization. You just stay speechless and admire...

Another amazing temple in the Luxor area that you must visit! It is well known as a sprawling complex with huge carvings, statues, obelisks, and monstrous columns. The temple grounds are huge, so plan on several hours here to see it all. It gets really busy in the late morning and middle of the day, then again near sundown. It is one of the most popular tourist stops in this area. Restrooms are available at the entrance, and there are some snack shops snd vendors there, also.

Fabulous and amazing. It's the largest temple dedicated to Sun god. It's very crowded so plan accordingly.

Before you go, Google "Great Karnak Inscription". There's no sign pointing to it and guides don't mention it. It is one of only two inscription in Thebes talking about the Sea Peoples, the other being on the middle or so of the back of the outside wall of Medinet Habu. The last photo is what you should be looking for. It is the largest and longest monumental writing in Egypt. The temple itself is massive and beautiful, with gigantic columns and large statues and a fascinating history. Not to be missed.

The second most visited place in Egypt after the pyramids at Giza. This complex began being built approximately 2,000 years BCE and took about 1,500 years to complete. It would have been fantastic during its competition. The complex is still in fantastic shape and the hieroglyphs are amazing. There is a light show at night which is a fantastic way to see the temple as well.

Always been intrigued by Egyptian civilization and visiting this site is something behold. Even with the remains of 6 of the 22 temples that were here, there is no way we can think the people of old don’t put our current work to shame. Pictures in textbooks don’t serve it justice. Give yourself the opportunity to have a blast into the pass. We had an Egyptologist give us a walk-thru of temples for an additional cost; it was very insightful. If in Luxor, even for a layover of a few hours, this place is worthy of visiting.

Egypt is not just about Pyramids and Sphinx. You Must visit the Karnak temple. If you thought building the Pyramids was not humanly then you would be gob smacked at the sheer magnitude of Karnak temple. 62 acres of marvel. Few hours with a guide are just not enough. I will have to come back again. The pillars, the obelisk are just unreal. The colours are still brilliant. Luxor can get really hot. Yes even hotter than Cairo. The best time to visit is between September and March. You can enjoy it more when it is pleasant weather. But surely a must visit when planning Egypt trip

This place is truly phenomenal! We were very blessed to not only visit here but our tour guide was also a professor of Egyptology and educated us in a way that no other tour guide could. It is usually busy but very much worth the visit. Much of the temple is still standing, although obviously showing signs of decay, but it is being looked after. If you get the chance to go, you must go. You won't be disappointed.

Magnifique Grandiose

Grosse Tempelanlage mit faszinierender Säulenhalle mit gut erhaltenen Inschriften. Eindrücklich und einen Besuch wert.

One of the most outstanding places I’ve ever visited! this temple is huge and the entrance with ram statues and the big columns in there are amazing! It is the biggest temple we have visited in Egypt. It is connected to Luxor temple with the Sphinx avenue, but this is not opened for the public so far.

The Karnak Temple has features representing the perod Middle Kingdom 2040BC and New Kingdom 1550BC influences which showcases the 2000 years traditions assimilated for the duration of completion of Karnak temple by around 300-30 BC The final form presents to us the largest religious center on Earth dedicated to the triad with God Amun as head Mind boggling to get a cohesive continuous thread of the temple facilities and though the construction of most temples follow a standardized pattern with courtyards leading to the innermost sanctum sanctum... Processional avenues added after main construction was over and called Sphinx Avenue most famous between Luxor to Karnak temples. Am fascinated by the obelisks and consider these worthy of devoting time and effort to bring their uniqueness to the forefront.. Most temples have at least 2 obelisks tall pointing structures which are representative of ancient Egypt. Representing the mound of creation these needle shaped pyramidal structures were at top guilded in gold or silver gold natural alloy called electroum. These obelisks are from red granite at Aswan up stream from Luxor and there were no metal tools and manufacturing these Obelisks was by hammering 18lbs dolorite stone harder than granite on the granite single block a quarter of inch per hour at a time..requires imagination to even visualize the process.Thousands must have worked shoulder to shoulder for producing these Obelisks.The granite was chipped into the pyramidal needle shaped structure..and receiving the lower edges on the block called for specialized techniques Transportation downstream was done by barrage 60m long towed by 27 tow boats with 3 pilot boats to Thabes via Nile powered by some 850 oarsmem..mind blowing effort.Some pictures from books have been shown to convey the effort that went I to transportation of obelisks. The obelisks weighed 450 T and 50 m tall and installed with chanting prayers and bull sacrifice to God's and Hatshepsut presented these obelisks to Amun Sun God at Karnak The erecting process was by ramp method and a picture is enclosed for clarity.. The obelisks were tall and so located that they caught the first rays before sunrise and last ray before sunset. The most fascinating facet of the temples remain these obelisks which are free standing and supporting their own weight without foundation and are existing and standing in all parts of the world, sent from Egypt by sea, for thousands of years. And only a few have collapsed in earthquakes. In fact it is remarked by scholars "that erecting an obelisk is more difficult than building a pyramid.." In the last standing Obelisk at Karnak the inscription by Queen Hatshepsut reads .. I erected them for my father Amun.They can be seen from the other side of the Nile their top gleams in electroum Female Falcon Seal Finally obeisks are as great an achievement as raising of the Pyramids in a different way ..and a few obelisk installing and commissioning are stories by themselves and are a reminder of the great remarkable practical results achieved by 6000 years of Egyptian engineering tradition..without even metal or bronze tools and without wheels being invented at that time .sheer focus of mind triumphing over matter in philosophical terms...

A place where the construction work continued for more than 2000 years, and different eras followed it, and you can smell the scent of history in it, and you can walk on the path of rams, the oldest road in history, even to the Luxor Temple, so that you visited the oldest open museum

How big it is! I am enjoying to see the wall and the columns,etc. When I get into the temple, it shocks to me about the architecture. Enjoy in the history.

If you have the opportunity to go with a group then you will get in there much easier and faster. It was a Sunday in March and pretty crowded however the weather was perfect for a day trip. The place is magical…every corner of it. You walk there where the kings did too. It’s simply breathtaking and the pieces decorations of the building are beautifully made. Unfortunately we didn’t have so much time to sit down and feel the special energy of the place but I recommend it. Definitely worth it to visit. Don’t miss it if you are in Luxor.
