M/S Luna Shore visits Karnak

Luxor · East Bank

Karnak

Two thousand years of building on one site, and the hypostyle hall at the middle of it.

Typical visit2.5 hours

Karnak is not one temple but a precinct that thirty pharaohs kept adding to across two millennia. The Great Hypostyle Hall alone covers 5,000 square metres under 134 columns, the tallest of them 21 metres — you walk through it rather than look at it.

Beyond the hall are Hatshepsut’s obelisks, the sacred lake, and the avenue of ram-headed sphinxes that once ran the three kilometres to Luxor Temple.
