karnak open air museum印象

If you go no-where else do visit this site. If possible go early in the morning when it's cooler and there are fewer people about, although at present that isn't much of a problem. Take the time to check out the wonderful black and white photograph in the visitor centre before going through to the main site - they give wonderful views of the site as it was being excavated and help you understand what a magnificent place it is.

As you walk into the place you will be greeted by a person that is wondering if you will need a guide. Take him up on the offer. If i remember correctly it costs 50LE. Our guide took us away from where the crowds are congregated and explained to us the hieroglyphics. It will give you a deeper understanding of the temple.Also look up. On top of some of the pillars you will see some blues, reds, and yellows, All original colors from when the temple was first erected. You can also see water lines from when the Nile used to flood prior to the construction of the Aswan Dam.What is sad to see is that the temple is slowly eroding away from the many pigeons that decide to perch atop the temple and relieve themselves.

Worth visiting for sure ! You will enjoy ! We loved it there and we will definitely come back to explore it more.

There was so much to see here. It was amazing to see the detailed hieroglyphics and to imagine how grand, bright and vibrant the temples would have been originally. I loved the site and spent many hours exploring.

Absolutely a must. A giant puzzle still being put together. We had the Luxory (pun intended) of a private guide who vividly painted a picture of pharaos and queens, architects, high officials etc. as we went through the immense area.

A must - it must be the largest open air museum in the world there is a wooden mock up of the site apparently donated by America gives you a good idea of what you are about to see - read a little on the internet before you visit and it will help to put some to the pieces together

The best part of Karnak temple, and most people don't even know it's there. No crowds to fight. The wonderful reconstructed Barque shrines of Senusret and Hatshepsut. Check out the shrine of Thumose IV for the relief of the king offering incense with the crook scepter hanging from his elbow.
-
Here you will find statues, magnificent fragments and reconstructed chapels - the White Chapel of Senusret III and the Chapelle Rouge of Hatshepsut are beautiful and give a great idea of the stunning artistry of the ancient egyptians

Excellent and well worth a visit. Very hot so recommend that you take water, wear a hat and wear comfortable foot wear as there is quite a lot of walking involved. Fantastic photo opportunities.

Not a massive museum but if you are realy interested in history there are some very interesting pieces on display here. Including Hatchepsuts marble temple.. There are some lovely statues and for the small extra cost well worth a look
