1. Located in the north of Luxor city, about 3 kilometers away from the Luxor temple in the center of the city, you can take a taxi, ride a carriage or a minivan, and walk well; 2. The Kanak temple is known as "the largest ancient religion site in the world", with "the largest and most complete is the Amon temple" and netizens like to use such words as "large scale, grand air cushion, unparalleled in the world". But what I want to say is that if you don't know much about Egyptian mythology and history and don't have reliable guides to bring you around, you'll probably end up in half an hour or an hour. 3. Kanak usually visits the Temple of Amon, the giant statue of Ramses II, 134 giant Gallery pillars, the obelisk of Hapschett Sutter, and the Holy Lake. Let me briefly mention a few interesting points. When you visit the Nile River, you should try not to miss : (1) the water level was much higher than it is now more than 100 years ago, when the colonists rowed into the temple and scribbled it on the buildings; (2) there was a relief of "Tree of Life" on one side of the wall of the temple of Amon, which is quite rare throughout Egypt; (3) Go straight to it. Deep in the temple, you can find a small hillside overlooking the whole temple; (4) Although the Confucius Temple is still under repair, if you are willing to tip, the staff here will quietly let you into the main hall for a visit. The exquisite painted reliefs inside are really shocking; 5. The admission fee is 150 Euro, about 60 yuan, the students are half-priced, and the business hours are from 9 a.m. to 17.30 p.m.

    In a country with a ton of temples, this is one of the better ones. Try to hire a certified tour guide to talk about all of the history of the temple.

    [Introduction to Scenic Spots] Karnak Temple is the most magnificent temple left over from the ancient Egyptian Empire. It is world-renowned for its vast scale and covers more than 30 hectares only in well-preserved parts. There are three parts in the Karnak temple: the Amun temple, the Amun temple, the Mut temple, the Amun wife's war goddess, and the Monsieur temple. [Overall Feeling] When you come to Egypt, apart from looking up at the magical pyramids in Cairo, you have to visit the Karnak Temple. Walking into the scenic spot, your first feeling is shock. The magnificent super-long Jingdao composed of the Sphinx and the Sheep's Face gives people a strong sense of ritual and dignity. Excellent. What's more, in such temples thousands of years ago, these sculptures were well preserved. We can't help but wonder at the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. Then the 8-metre-high statue of Ramses II came into view, standing on the soles of his feet is his beloved wife, Nafiltari. Moving forward, the most striking thing is the dozens of huge columns carved with ancient Egyptian stories, each of which can tell a long series of stories. Of course, time is limited. The tour guide only told some stories. In the temple, there are coloured columns, after so many years, the colour is intact, which can not help but amaze us. Then in Egypt, the Obelisk must also be seen, there are many obelisks in the temple, each has a story, so we need to investigate carefully. In addition, the Karnak temple is too big. Our tour guide gave us two hours of free activities and one hour of lecture. It seems that the time is really not enough. The Karnak temple is very big, and the stories are very many, so we are just watching the flowers. In addition, it is highly recommended that you go in January - February, not very hot, very comfortable.

    The sun god Amon was the local god of Thebes, and when Thebes became the emperor, the god of Amon became the largest god in ancient Egypt, and the temple of Amon was built the largest religious building in history. In fact, the main body of the Karnake Temple is the Amon Temple. The most eye-catching is the magnificent multi-pillar hall. Walking during it is like walking in the stone pillar forest. Not only are there many stone pillars, but they are tall and strong, like papyrus. In fact, they are a bit like Angkor's Linga, but they are magnificent beyond imagination. The sun shines in, the light and shadow move, the yin and yang overlap, giving people a sense of mystery and deepness. How should Amon God go through it? I like it so much.
