Open space in front of the huge temple complex of Karnak in Luxor

The Karnak temple complex in Luxor is a huge place, with a lot of open space in front of the temple complex. In fact, from the parking area itself, there is a walk of around 5-10 minutes that will take you towards the gates of the temple. In this photo, you get some idea of the open space, but it needs to be seen to be believed.
