Our tour of the temple of Khonsu was conducted by Dr. Mostafa Waziri, Egypt's Head of Antiquities.
The colors inside the temple remain surprisingly vivid.
The detail on the walls and columns in the Great Hypostyle Hall is incredible. Napoleon supposedly had dinner atop one of the columns, and scenes from the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, featuring the notorious villain Jaws, were filmed here.
