Tour the Temples of Karnak and Luxor to explore one of the world’s most significant open-air museums and the world’s second-largest religious site after Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The Karnak temple Complex is over 2000 years old and was built to worship the sun god Amun Ra during the New Kingdom period from 1550 to 1070 BC. The most famous sections of the Karnak complex are in the precinct of Amun Ra. It became a city home to 4,000 Egyptians and a place to worship, and Karnak’s priests became as important as the Egyptian kings. The temple took over 1,500 years to complete, with as many as thirty successive pharaohs adding to it. Ramses II and Tutankhamun were two who left their mark by erecting statues of themselves around the temple and carving hieroglyphics into the walls, showing them in battle and going about their daily routines. The oldest area of the temple holds the largest obelisk in Egypt, which is also one of the two tallest standing ancient Egyptian obelisks in the world.
