Karnak is a city of temples rather than one building. We walk the great court, the hypostyle hall and the sacred lake while your guide explains how each pharaoh added to it.
We finish at Luxor Temple as the lights come on, which is the best hour to photograph the obelisk and the statues without a crowd in front of them.
