Full description

Welcome to Karnak, the largest and most important religious complex in ancient Egypt. For nearly two millennia, Karnak was not just a temple — it was a living sacred city, constantly expanded by pharaohs seeking to honor the gods and legitimize their reigns. Every stone, column, and pylon carries the mark of rulers who shaped Egypt’s destiny, from the Middle Kingdom’s earliest kings to the last days of native rule. With the app's GPS and map, you can freely navigate, pause, or replay sections to immerse yourself in the atmosphere and monumental beauty of Karnak. This is a digital audio guide available on the SmartGuide app. GPS-based audio plays automatically, even offline. Install SmartGuide on Android or iOS.

This is a scam you can download the app for free. It does not gain you entry to the site. The app also doesn’t pick up what sites you are visiting they are all jumbled up.

ARNAQUE, le site vend des "Billets d'entrée" où l'entrée n'est pas comprise. Il est ensuite indiqué que tout remboursement est impossible.
