Karnak Temple
Bedste tid at besøge
Between 7 and 9 in the morning, when the sunlight is lower and the large groups have not yet arrived. The months between November and February are the best, and the morning opening is always the quietest.
Budgettips
The entrance fee is about 240 Egyptian pounds (approximately 4-5 euros), and you can also pay by credit card at the cash register. The sound and light show ticket is extra, which is better to book in advance, and in the morning hours there are fewer people, so there is less waiting in line.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Næsten to tusind års byggeri resulterede i et enkelt tempelkompleks, udformet af mere end tredive faraoer. I hypostilhallen står 134 kolossale stenkollonner, de største er 23 meter høje og næsten 15 meter i omkreds.
Højdepunkter: Hovedsalen er stor nok til, at både den romerske Peterskirke og Notre-Dame i Paris ville kunne rummes der samtidig. Morgenlyset falder gennem de høje vinduesåbninger og farver de 23 meter høje kolonners overflader dybt orange, som om stenen selv levede.
Insidertips
- Arrive at the 7 am opening, when the light between the columns is the most dramatic and the groups have not yet arrived.
- The northern side of the sacred lake is the best photo spot, because the reflection of the columns in the water is beautiful.
- Sunglasses are needed, because the stone surfaces reflect the strong afternoon light, and a wide hat provides protection.
- Walking around the scarab statue seven times is the ancient custom for achieving good luck, and the locals often do this.
