Most of the kings of the New Kingdom added a construction in honor of Amun-Ra and so Karnak became a complex of 25 temples. At the entrance you will be amazed by the Avenue of Rams, built by King Ramses the Great. Also, you will see the Great Hypostyle Hall (famous set for many movie scenes, such as the James Bond classic The Spy Who Loved Me), the Obelisk of Avenue of Sphinxes that leads all the way from Luxor Temple to Karnak Temples, and the Obelisk of Ramses II.
