Karnak is an archaeological site and temple complex built in the ancient Egyptian style, and it forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main ticket for foreign visitors covers both the temple and the Open Museum in Karnak, so one entry gives you the temple and a second collection to walk through. The trade-off is the Mut Temple: it sits within Karnak but needs its own ticket, so decide before you reach the counter whether your family has the energy for it. Toilets are listed among the site’s services, which helps on a long visit with children.
