Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - If you are a fan of history, ancient architecture and impressive historical buildings, you must think of visiting Abdel Karnak in Egypt , but you should visit the most popular historical complex in the world.

Karnak is a historical complex located in Egypt, near Luxor in the south of Cairo. It includes a number of ancient and beautiful temples dating back to the time of the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II, to a time between 1391 to 1351 BC.

The Karnak Temple was known to the ancient Egyptians as "Abit East", which in the Pharaonic language means "the most lined up place", and despite the presence of some damage, there is almost no place more wonderful than Karnak and the pyramids in Egypt.

At that time this area was one of the most important places of worship, and the Great Temple of Amun was also one of the largest buildings. Today, it is considered one of the most visited regions in the world, and it is the most famous historical region in Egypt, in the world after the Giza pyramids.

Currently, the Karnak Temple complex consists of three main temples, in addition to a number of small temples and outer temples that are located in the vicinity of the complex, only 3 kilometers north of Luxor.

Karnak is also one of the few open-air museums that will leave you watching the stones without comment, as it is the largest archaeological religious site in the world, consisting of huge and towering columns and impressive statues.

As we mentioned above, Karnak is the second most visited place in Egypt , after the Pyramids of Giza. If you have the opportunity to travel to Egypt, Karnak must be on your list of places to visit.
