We are still here on the central axis of the temple and are standing at the entrance to the holy sanctuary. To our left we see the two larger-than-life statues depicting the divine lord of the temple of Karnak and his divine wife: Amun on the left, Amaunet to his right. Both statues have only recently been erected here.
Part of the Holy Land, Egypt offers a fascinating mixture of ancient pyramids, temples and other religious monuments. There are numerous possibilities to explore Egypt from desert treks to trips down the Nile or scuba diving in the Red Sea and along the Sinai coast. Cairo, which means “The Triumphant”, is home to the pyramids, sphinx and over 17 million residents within its metropolitan area. Luxor is often described as the world’s largest open air museum, built on the ancient city of Thebes. The Karnak temple complex, located near Luxor, is a collection of ancient temples, chapels and various other buildings.
