Karnak Temple in Luxor

The Karnak Temples, the largest temple complex in Egypt, are located in Karnak, a village about 2.5 kilometers north of Luxor and directly on the east bank of the Nile. The oldest visible remains of the temple date back to the 12th Dynasty under Sesostris I. The temple complex was repeatedly expanded and rebuilt until the Roman Imperial period.

The temple complex, along with the Luxor Temple and the Theban Necropolis, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.
