We stayed in Luxor and visited the Temples of Karnak/ Luxor and the museum with LUXOR tours. Our guide Ghada and driver were private and with us for four days. We had an airconditioned van and the driver was great, stopping at local bakeries/ stores and helping with Egyptian priving- rather than tourist- pricing. (huge difference) Our itinerary had us... more

amazing to see the amount of work that the egyptians put into making this temple. it does get very busy during the day but well worth a visit. tryto have a good tour guide to explain the history to you. more

I see some mixed reviews but I would give the Karnak NIGHT LIGHT show a miss. Visit the temple during the day instead. We were expecting a much more sophisticated show. The lights were not left on as we moved/walked through the temple so we could not examine the structures as we passed through. Cheesy commentary that I can read... more

Beautiful site and best seen early in the morning before all the crowds begin. If you are on a cruise ship it's probably walkable, but the calesh drivers will get you there even easier (and inexpensively if you negotiate at all). more

Inmy opinion, the best ancient place in Egypt. My advice is: go early in the morning so you don't have to deal with the crowd that acumulates in front of each monument. Take at least a half day to see everything, it is definetely worthy! more

It is the largest open air museum in the world, hence why I think everything is so big! You have to visit it cannot be missed if your in Luxor... more

The huge temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt, is definitely a sight not to be missed. The temple is one of the largest religious buildings in the world, and you will be lost for words when you first enter this magnificent ruin. The Ancient Egyptians laid the first foundations to the temple around 2000 BC. At that time Luxor, which... more

Despite being constantly crowded, Karnak temple was the crown jewel of Thebes and is still an amazing place. Its immense size, its age and its amazing artwork makes it a landmark of human history. You can easily spend a whole day there and still haven't seen it all. Words cannot describe the grandeur of this place; the only real downside... more

i love egypt, and this was the topping on the cake. even though this was my first time ever going, and i plan on going again. i loved walking around and looking at all the heiroglyphics. if you are only in egypt for a little while, this place should be on the top of your to-do list. more
