Karnak

Karnak is a vast temple complex on the east bank of the Nile, about 2.5 km north of central Luxor, dedicated mainly to the god Amun. Building began under Senusret I around 1950 BC and continued into the Ptolemaic period. Visitors walk through pylons, courts, obelisks and the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 columns.
