Another large temple complex. Very crowded during sunset, when the sun is very low. But also good then.
The Precinct of Amun-Re is an Ancient Egyptian temple precinct, or sacred enclosure, dedicated to Amun-Re, the principal god of the Theban Triad. It is situated near Luxor, Egypt within the immense Karnak Temple Complex. The Precinct covers an area of some 25 ha and is the largest of the four enclosures in the Karnak complex. It contains numerous structures and monuments. Some areas of the Precinct are open to the general public.

An off-shoot to the Karnak temple complex, accessed just before the Second Pylon at left, featuring an amazing array of statuary and reconstructed temple structures. Don't miss this! Ticket to be bought from the Karnak ticket office.
The main features are the Temple of Montu, Temple of Harpre, Temple of Ma'at, a sacred lake and the Gateway of Ptolemy III Euergetes / Ptolemy IV Philopator, which is the most visible structure on the site and can be easily seen from inside the Precinct of Amon-Re. Most monuments are poorly preserved.
Contains at least six temples: the Mut Temple, the Contra Temple, and Temples A, B, C, and D. All in a pretty bad shape. There is also a sacred lake Isheru surrounding the Mut Temple from the three sides.
