Karnak Templ, on the East Bank at Luxor, is the oldest continually used religious site on the face of the planet. There's a mosque at the site now, so it's still being used religiously. I got up really freaking early and walked about 2 miles to the entrance from my hotel because it is pretty hot in Luxor in late June. As a reward for my industriousness, I got there before the tour buses got there so I had it almost to myself at first. Now I am not one of those people who complains about the tourists and says that places are too "touristy" because, come on, I AM a tourist. Good grief! But it was nice to get to this place before it got really crowded.
