Karnak Temple

Karnak is the great temple complex on Luxor’s east bank. From a west-bank balloon you can see it across the Nile at first light — a mass of pylons and courts, not a walk through the hypostyle hall.

This flight does not fly a guaranteed pass over Karnak. The launch is on the west bank; treat Karnak as a landmark you may see from the air, depending on height and haze.
