Only a small part of what is known as the Temple of Karnak is actually open to the public. The entire complex is dedicated to the Gods Amun, Mut and Khonsu with the precinct of Amun (also referred to as Amon or Amun-Ra or Amon-Re) being the only area that can be explored today. It is estimated that construction of Karnak Temple (recognized as the ancient world's largest religious site) continued for 1,000 to 2,000 years.

Social Media Description
After our first lunch aboard the river boat that we would call home for four nights, we met the Egyptologist who would lead us around the ancient sites as we sailed from Luxor to Aswan. We started at Karnak Temple that we learned was thought to be the "most select of places" by the ancient Egyptians.
