Path between rows of pillars in the Hypostyle Hall, leading to a set of trees

The Karnak temple in Luxor is one of the most magnificent structures in the ancient city of Luxor, which is based on the ancient city of Thebes, the center of the New Kingdom for many centuries, and the religious center of the country.
The Karnak temple was constructed over a period of time in the rule of many pharaohs, and one of the most spectacular constructions inside the temple is the Hypostyle Hall, a place that has a total of 134 huge pillars, covered with carvings, that glorify the various pharaohs of the time.

The Hypostyle Hall inside the Karnak temple (in Luxor) has a large number of pillars with carvings. There are a total of 134 such pillars, which were part of the huge hall that covered a total area of 50,000 square feet. You have to go there to actually get a feel of the size of the hall. Here, you can see pillars aligned in 2 rows.

Tourists at the base of pillars inside the Hypostyle Hall in the Karnak temple

In many previous photos, I can talked about the huge size of the pillars inside the Hypostyle Hall (a total of 134 pillars). It is always good to show people against such structures, since that gives clarity about the size of the pillars, as can be seen in this photo where you can see tourists at the base of the pillars and hence get an idea of the size.
The pillars are really huge.

The whole complex of the Karnak temple is a huge complex, made of stone, made by various pharaohs over a period of many years, around 35 centuries back. Inside the temple, there is a huge hall called the Hypostyle Hall, where there are a set of 134 pillars (huge pillars), with the hall covering a total area of 50,000 square feet. Most of the roof has fallen, but the pillars are now in a good condition after decades of restoration and maintenance.
In this photo, you are able to see some palm trees (and not too many trees can be seen inside the complex).
