This place was the highlight of Egypt for us. Spectacular columns and hieroglyphs everywhere. You can still see the paint and the details on almost everything. Takes you to a different realm.

I arrive just after 6am when it opened, I highly recommend coming first thing. I had the whole temple complex almost to myself, and I got there before most of the security even arrived making pictures brilliant. Plus you get the bonus of the sunrise light. While I was able to enjoy everything in peace. Tickets cost 600egp for an adult and you have to pay by debit or credit. Make sure you bring water as once you’re in the complex there is nothing. You have to go all the way back to around the ticket office to get drinks. There are a few signs with information for some of the areas, but not lot of detail. What I found useful was using AI to get more information on the area I was looking which was really insightful.

This is the most spectacular place I have ever visited. The temple complex is vast and the sheer scale of the building is mind blowing. We visited twice as we went in the day and then went for the sound and light show at night too.

Excellent piece of work in ancient times. Do take a guide to know about the rich history it possess. Take at-least 2 hours for Karnak. Trust me you would be shocked to see the marvel . Do visit the room of Alexander and if possible give some tips to the man who has been guarding the room .

Historical site that is awesome to experience, walking through a part of the history of Egypt. Wish they had a better system of buying tickets to enter than to wait in the heat and then brutality taken advantage of with the beverage prices inside the complex because you get really thirsty in the heat.

Extremely busy mid morning, but to be expected in holiday season. Once you are off the main walkway it’s much quieter and arguably the better parts are away. Take the time to walk around. Honsu Temple is a short walk away.

The biggest temple of the ancient world. Breathtaking and spectacular. Very huge place, if you have the time spend here minimum 4 hours.

One of the most iconic temples in Luxor due to its size and architecture. A magnificent night show available with which provides a good knowledge about the temple and its history using attractive lighting, projected videos and sound tracks
