Everyone who comes to Luxor would visit the biggest ancient temple site in Egypt- The Karnak Temple complex. Since the 16th century BC, around 30 successive pharaohs had contributed additions to this site, including a vast mix of 25 ruined temples, chapels, pylons, obelisks, and other structures.
In one morning, we took a microbus outside the train station in Luxor and arrived at this temple complex in a few minutes. First, we walked through the Avenue of the Sphinxes, once a two-miles scared way from Karnak to Luxor Temple, and then we saw many tour guides leading their groups and explaining the long ancient history in English, German, French, Chinese, Japaness, or Korean... There are a lot to see here, but the most impressive area for me is the Hypostyle Hall, which comprises 134 huge columns, highest 21 meters tall with a diameter of over three meters.
