When you travel to Egypt, just do not to be missed the spectacular Temples of Karnak. As of the BBC History channel puts it: “Karnak is like an ancient Egyptian religion theme park, where every god and goddess of that civilization was represented over a period of about 2,000 years”.

No wonder then in ancient of Egypt, the Karnak was the most important place of worship. Measuring 1500 x 800 meters, the site is huge and is a spectacular complex of kiosks, sanctuaries, obelisks and pylons, all dedicated to the Theban gods. Then don’t miss the Hypostile Hall in the Great Temple of Amun, if you don’t have the energy to cover all that ground. There are several performances of the light and sound show a night with mixed reviews and mostly good.

For more information just see the Guide to Luxor, Karnak and Thebes.
