Palm Trees in a row in front of the Karnak temple in Luxor

The space in front of the Karnak temple is pretty large, with people having to walk a few minutes from the parking area to the actual start of the temple. In this photo, you get a brief view of the large space, in terms of the space between the palm trees in a row in front of the temple. In front of one tree, you can see a bored policeman on a chair, and since there have been no terrorist incidents for many years, things are much safer for tourists and the reputation of Egypt as a tourist friendly place had increased.
