2027 total solar eclipse at Karnak Temple Complex

Karnak is a separate map location from Luxor Temple and the city-centre Luxor pin. Compare the contact times and centre-line distance at each before deciding where to observe. Temple walls and columns can obstruct a sightline even when the terrain is clear. Entry arrangements and permission for observing require confirmation with the site.
