Karnak Temple
Najlepší čas na návštevu
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.
Tipy na rozpočet
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.

O
Rýchle fakty: Takmer dvetisíc rokov trvajúca výstavba vytvorila jediný svätyňový komplex, ktorý formovalo viac ako tridsať faraónov. V hypostylovej hale stojí 134 kolosálnych kamenných stĺpov; najväčšie sú vysoké 23 metrov a ich obvod je skoro 15 metrov.
Zaujímavosti: Hlavná hala je dosť veľká, aby sa do nej súčasne zmestili rímska Bazilika svätého Petra a parížska Notre-Dame. Ranné slnečné svetlo, prenikajúce cez vysoké okenné otvory, farbí povrch 23-metrových stĺpov na hlboko oranžovočerveno, ako keby sam kameň žil.
Insiderské tipy
- 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.
