Karnak Gate Tenth Pylon EG075036JHP Tenth Pylon Egyptian Karnak Temple Gate Vista Horemheb Statues Built is located near Luxor City centre on the East Bank of the River Nile and it the largest religious complex on the Nile. Near the Temple of Khonsu, set to the south-west of the Karnak complex and is worth a visit as it is usually free of crowds, it is possible with a friendly custodian to walk across to the tenth pylon and its gate with two huge very damaged colossi probably of its builder Horemheb. Closed and not accessible to the public is the Precinct of Mut, the consort of the God Amun, reached from the tenth gate via an avenue of ram headed sphinxes.
