One of the largest religious complexes ever built, developed over some 2,000 years and dedicated mainly to the god Amun-Ra, about 3km north of central Luxor. The Great Hypostyle Hall's 134 giant columns are the highlight, along with obelisks, the sacred lake and avenues of sphinxes. Go at opening time to beat the heat and the tour buses.
