On the East Bank, explore the Karnak Temple Complex: walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, stand among the 134 giant columns of the Hypostyle Hall and see the ancient obelisks. Then cross to the West Bank to visit the Valley of the Kings, the terraced Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon.
