The monumental wall-like structure that served as the main gate of the Karnak Temple. Not entirely restored and because of that not as impressive as it must have been in antiquity. The southern pylon is better preserved and, thus, taller than its northern counterpart.

This is one of the most amazing and biggest temples in Egypt! with with a great entrance, great architecture. This is the simplest description of this pharaonic architectural masterpiece.These photos will take you on a short, brief journey inside the temple from the entrance to the exit..Note: Follow the rest of the temple sites and you will complete the story.

The first time I was there in Karnak temple and before that first pylon, was greater than any expectations I ever had. The Egyptian old civilization is more fantastic and the ancient Egyptians must be studied widely and deeply, how they in that early time and before many thousands of years do that great pylons, pillars, structures and buildings and still until this time stand though time and environmental factors. Thats unbelievable, they must knew something we dont know in spite of our modern science and technology. This is something should push us to think and study.

Karnak Temple walking to the first wall entrance also known as the first Pylon the view of the temple its awesome!!

Fantastic. Should visit in early morning and evening to appreciate it. Watch for the levels marked by Nepolian himself on it to get an idea of original levels, current and the effort of excavations.The best way is to buy a Luxor pass from the office adjacent to Luxor museum which will give you unlimited access for five days to all archeological sites and museums for 160 USD per person. If you buy a similar Cairo pass at 80 USD from Cairo museum, you will get a 50% reduction in Luxor.For persons below thirty with a valid student identity card, there is a reduction of 50% as well.The omnipresent Egyptian culture of Baksheesh is here. Even for showing statue they will ask for it. Worst part is that they are not satisfied, whatever you pay, they will ask for more.Dont entertain people offering voluntary information and even if they ask for Baksheesh, firmly reject it. Nothing will happen.

Built by multiple pharaohs between 2200 and 360 BC, the Karnak Temple contains within it the great temple of Amun, other smaller temples, chapels, and the great sacred lake. This First Pylon is located at the entrance to the Spectacular and Huge Temple of Karnak.

The building is absolutely perfect. It is a pity that one cannot go back in time and sail through the canal by boat.

So they brought them all in one place, and I have zadovbavsya identify what and where equate with pics ... like all the same and all different ... even the alley sheep ... sheep Hmm ... so here two pylons ...And so - go boldly, youll like it)

Karnak is one of the best preserved ancient temple places in the world. The vastness and size of the buildings will fascinate you, especially when you realize that these buildings are thousands of years old. It is definitely worth coming here if you are planning a visit to Egypt. It must be seen at least once in a lifetime.Beware of all sorts of traders who will try to force you to buy worthless items. Especially dont take anything from them even if they tell you its free. Theyll chase you to the bus.

The entrance to the Karnak Temple. With his alleys of Sphinx and his triumphal arch, brother of that of Paris.

It was a beautiful day with the ancient monuments of EgyptKarnak Temple

First Pylon (entrance) of the Temple of Karnak, preceded by the Via degli Dei, with two towers that represent the two kingdoms

After the avenue of the Sphinx, the first entrance. It is the youngest element of the temple. This was gradually expanded from the inside out. Unfortunately the reliefs have been removed.

The most beautiful place in Luxor

Is the main entrance to the temple and the latter time is one of the eight entrances of the temple and built westward, and believe the archaeologists that this wall was built by King Nakhtenbo kings of the family thirty and last in ancient Egyptian history.

Luxor has several places to go around, all beautiful. But it contains so much data and history, that it should be done with a local guide.

It is part of the most incredible temple complex I have ever seen.

Giant temples and buildings of thousands of years demonstrates the accuracy of construction and attention to work

Enormous

The most modern building in the group of Temples Karnak Luxor

You get the first impression of how huge you built then.

The magnificent entrance is more suitable for giants than for people

Visiting these places causes mixed feelings: from confusion to ecstasy!
