The view of the front of the Great Karnak temple in Luxor, with wide open spaces

The front section of the Great temple of Karnak at Luxor has a huge open space, as can be seen in this photo and in some of the photos previously posted. The space is very large, and since no parking is allowed, the space remains empty and looks huge. There are trees planted in the middle of the space, and when you see the distance, you see tourists, but otherwise, you see empty spaces - and in the distance, you can see these large hills.
