Tree and some Apartments at one corner of the Karnak temple in Luxor

In front of the Karnak temple in Luxor, there is a huge open space. In this photo, of the front area of the Karnak temple, the place seems totally open and cleared (with no tourists also visible). At the side of the place, you can see an apartment complex which displays how modern civilization has crept upto the reminders of the ancient civilizations.
