Stop At: Temple of Karnak, Karnak, Luxor Egypt

 Karnak is the largest temple in Egypt. In fact, this sacred area sees the meeting of several sanctuaries, because Amon hosted here all the deities, hence the name Karnak ipet-sout, the place that lists places, namely the residences of gods and goddesses.

Karnak is undoubtedly the most grandiose site of all Pharaonic Egypt. Dating back to 4,700 years, it remains the largest religious structure ever built in the world. It is not just a temple, but a gigantic complex, most of which was built under the New Kingdom (1580-1160 BC).

Stop At: Luxor Temple, Luxor 23512 Egypt

Located on the banks of the Nile, the temple of Luxor is dedicated to the god Amon. Its construction was begun by Amenhotep III (1400 BC) and continued by Ramses II, who added two obelisks of perfect proportions, before Alexander the Great made him undergo some modifications. The time of Luxor is a rather architecturally coherent site, compared to Karnak where there is a certain cacophony.

On the site of Medinet Habou was a small temple dedicated to the 18th Dynasty and a larger one dedicated to the glory of Ramses III, the most famous building of Thebes in ancient times. It could be the work of the famous architect Amenothep. It covered a considerable area serving, behind its ramparts, refuge during troubled times.

For centuries it was used as a career. In front, a canal joined the Nile, and besides, nearby, a nilometer is still visible. Despite this, its general condition remains exceptional. Copts who settled there in the Christian era warned of ruin.
