Spanning an area of 2 km2, the Karnak Temple, one of the grandest religious complexes of antiquity, proudly displays its ruins. Of the 134 columns spread over 5000 square meters, twelve, central and more comprehensive, supported the roof of the building, which is now destroyed. Upon arriving at the temple, visitors are dazzled by the 40 sphynx at the entrance. Some wear a ram's head, while others have a human face. This sphynx avenue leads to the Luxor Temple and the Nile. A historical building of great value, the architecture of the Temple of Karnak consists of 3 primary enclosures dedicated to different gods. Obelisks, giant statues, and hieroglyphics are on display. ◄
