The great temple complex of Karnak lies 2mi/3km northeast of Luxor within the area of ancient Thebes, near the modern village of Karnak. Within its precincts are the Great Temple of Amun, the Temple of Khons and the Festival Temple of Tuthmosis III, as well as many other buildings; and ample time should be allowed for seeing all that this magnificent site has to offer.
