Karnak Temple
Meilleur moment pour visiter
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.
Conseils budget
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.

À propos
Faits rapides: Près de deux mille ans de construction ont produit un complexe de sanctuaire unique, formé par plus de trente pharaons. Dans la salle hypostyle se dressent 134 colonnes de pierre colossales, les plus grandes hautes de 23 mètres et d'une circonférence de près de 15 mètres.
Points forts: La salle principale est assez vaste pour que la basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome et Notre-Dame de Paris puissent y tenir simultanément. La lumière matinale passant à travers les hautes ouvertures de la colonnade teint la surface des colonnes de 23 mètres d'un profond rouge orangé, comme si la pierre elle-même était vivante.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
