Die Karnak-Tempel liegen als größte Tempelanlage von Ägypten in Karnak, einem Dorf etwa 2,5 Kilometer nördlich von Luxor und direkt am östlichen Nilufer. Die ältesten heute noch sichtbaren Baureste des Tempels stammen aus der 12. Dynastie unter Sesostris I. Bis in die römische Kaiserzeit wurde die Tempelanlage immer wieder erweitert und umgebaut. Die Tempelanlage steht seit 1979 zusammen mit dem Luxor-Tempel und der thebanischen Nekropole auf der Weltkulturerbeliste der UNESCO.
