Karnak Temple
Quote: "There is a row of sphinxes there. I don't know what that is all about. There is a big wall. Again, don't know why that is there. If you have any questions, ask each other. I will overhear other guides and tell you what they say. I am not a tour... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: I say you’d be hard-pressed to find a more impressive temple complex in Egypt. Dedicated to the sun god, this complex wasn’t built by just one pharaoh, but by many. Each successor to the throne just kept building on to the previous structure, and... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: Simply put, Karnak is the largest temple ever built in the history of the human race. The sheer size of the temple will astound virtually anybody. However, it needs to be recognized that what we see today as the Karnak temple is the result of 1,300... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: One of the most spectacular temple complexes we saw. The hypostyle hall is awe-inspiring -- walk around the statue of the scarab beetle seven times to get any wish you want. The best (and most entertaining) way to get to the temple is by kalesh. ... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: This is a must. Spend a minimum of three hours there and try to avoid rush times like 11 am to 1:30 pm and 3 pm - 5 pm, and buy a good book that tells you the history of the temple. There are always groups going around, but they usually go to the... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: The cost is 20LE except for Egyptians which is 10LE. This is the largest temple in the world with 9 gates. After my guide point a few of the sometimes subtle changes at entrance points, I began to notice the beginning of each new gate. The ruins... Read the full Karnak Temple review

Quote: This is unquestionably the best, largest and most impressive of all the Egyptian temples. It's a long hike to get there in the heat, so we took a Caleche from Luxor (about 3or4 dollars) to the entrance. There are many different aspects to this... Read the full Karnak Temple review
