An Eye and a Lens - Karnak Temple Complex

Karnak at sunrise

Karnak is an extraordinary and vast temple complex. Built, modified, expanded and restored over a period of some 1500 years, it became the most important temple of worship during the New Kingdom. The main structure inside is the Temple of Amun, and is considered to be the largest religious temple ever built. Entrance fee is E£65/E£35 for adults/students.

I see a first tour bus since arriving in Egypt, mostly dressed totally inappropriately in shorts and bare shoulders, but fortunately they don’t stay long. It takes me some 6 hours to do this complex justice.
