Besøget
Every pharaoh of the New Kingdom added to Karnak, so walking from the first pylon to the sanctuary is walking backwards in time. The Avenue of Ram-headed Sphinxes leads through the pylon of the last dynasty into the courtyard, then the Great Hypostyle Hall: twelve central columns 21 m high with open papyrus capitals, 122 smaller ones around them, all carved and once painted.
Beyond the hall stand the obelisks of Thutmose I and Hatshepsut, the sanctuary of the sacred bark, the Festival Hall of Thutmose III with its tent-pole columns, and the sacred lake where the priests washed before dawn. The open-air museum keeps the reconstructed White Chapel of Senusret I and the Red Chapel of Hatshepsut.
At night the Sound and Light Show leads you through the same route with the columns lit from below; by day the site opens at 06:00 and the first hour is the quietest.
Tips fra vores guider
- Two hours minimum; three with the open-air museum
- Morning light is on the hypostyle hall; afternoon on the obelisks
- The Sound and Light Show is best after a daytime visit
Bedste tidspunkt: Tidlig morgen eller fra kl. 15:00; oktober til april for varmen.
Spørgsmål
Two hours with a guide for the main axis, the obelisks and the sacred lake; three if you add the open-air museum.
No. Karnak is the vast temple complex north of the town; Luxor Temple is the smaller, more elegant temple in the town centre, joined to Karnak by the Avenue of Sphinxes.
