The Karnak Temple is unique not only among Egyptian temples, but also among religious sites throughout the world as it is the largest ancient religious site in the world, also often considered the largest open-air museum in the world. Unlike many Egyptian temples, Karnak was not constructed by a single pharaoh or even during a single time period. Construction began in the sixteenth century BC and continued for over 1,300 years. Approximately thirty different pharaohs contributed to the complex, adding temples, pylons, chapels, or obelisks all devoted to the gods of Thebes. Among the contributing pharaohs were Thutmosis I, Seti I and Ramses II, whose tombs are located in the Valley of the Kings and all of whom now rest at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Temple of Karnak features a light and sound show every evening, which reviews the history of Thebes, the religious center of Egypt during a large portion of Egyptian history, as well as facts about the Egyptian temples at Karnak and the pharaohs who built them. The show runs in several languages; check a schedule for times and what language the show will be in.

Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the water is suspect, so swimming and surfing are not recommended. Some good beach bars can be found along the sand, and many boast changing facilities, showers, and some deck chairs that can be ideal for kicking back and relaxing.

Tangier is also home to a lot of restaurants that can satisfy a range of budgets. Thanks to the city’s rich history and its mixing of cultures, dining out is one of the top things to do in Tangier. Hanging out at the cafes is also popular, and as can be expected in Morocco, strong coffee and mint tea are often the drinks of choice.
