After just arriving back from a nile cruise this is the first temple we visited and is within easy walking distance from where the boats dock.
It's amazing to think how long this structure has been standing.

Temple is stunning. Everything is so well preserved. I was overwhelmed by what we saw. You need a good guide to tell you what's what, and of course there's always a willing local to take a few $$$ off you for their services, but it's well worth it. Just incredible!

- you have to go, -a walk around to see lit-up at night is lovely, by day, see it before Karnak! A bit pricey compared to other sites, and avoid the cafe- overpriced.

Fortunatedly we had an excellent guide arranged with the tour company TravelLIve who...
