"Karnak Temple is a complex of ancient religious buildings located in Luxor, Egypt. The temple is situated on the east bank of the Nile River and is considered one of the most impressive examples of ancient Egyptian architecture.
"The landscape of Karnak Temple is characterized by towering columns, massive stone structures, and intricate carvings and sculptures. You can expect to hear the sounds of visitors exploring the temple complex. This may include the sounds of footsteps echoing on the stone floors and people speaking in different languages.
"The temple's gardens and courtyards provide a suitable environment for birds to nest and forage for food, so you may also hear the sounds of various bird species, including pigeons, sparrows, and doves. The sounds of birds singing and flitting through the temple complex can add an extra layer of life and energy to the otherwise quiet and contemplative atmosphere of the temple."
