Visit the Karnak Temple Complex

As important as Luxor Temple is, the most important monument of Luxor is the Karnak Temple Complex (both monuments are connected by a 3 km long Avenue of Sphinxes), where temples are dedicated to Theban gods. The largest and most important of them is the one dedicated to the god, Amon.

The Temple of Karnak was believed to be the spot where creation began. They also believed it was a point of interaction between the god Amun-Ra and Egyptians. It is important to Egypt's cultural history because it was a place of worship and provides clues about the ancient Egyptian religion.
