Egypt 12 - Karnak & Luxor Temples
On our last full day we went to Karnak Temple and this is one of the places that I could go to again, and still feel that I haven't seen all there was to see ... a stunning complex.
This wall is being carefully preserved
I still can't believe how good the painting is
The top of the tallest obelisk
Original ramp built to help build the temple

The 2 temples are literally a few miles apart, and between the two is The Avenue of Sphynxes
(This is taken from Karnak Temple)
And, yes, we also went to Luxor Temple ... This is where there is the only statue of Tutankhamun and his wife
The Temple was used for generations ... Roman paintings ...
... and a Mosque, over a discarded Church
Tutankhamun and his wife
In actual fact, although I have really spammed you I have only posted a percentage of the photos that I actually took.
I had planned for my trip to Egypt to be a one-off and we certainly visited a lot of places, but I can honestly say I would go back ... it is a fascinating country and in the end, although I saw a lot, I still only touched part of what there is to see.
