On a hot day in May this year, my family and I found ourselves as the days first visitors to the Karnak Temple, a fact I’m quite proud of as we have 2 and 5 year olds to drag out of bed. Seeing the sun illuminate the columns and making our way through the complex alone was a surreal experience. Our favorite parts of the temple was the Obelisk of Hatshepsut and the Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 stone columns representing a sea of reeds (as seen in this photo). It’s a site so well-known that it doesn’t need an introduction, but I will say this: I hope everyone has a chance to visit at least once!
