Absolutely worth seeing. However, I recommend taking a tour guide who leads a tour of the Karnak Temple with a maximum of 8 people. You want to learn something from the tour 😉

It's definitely worth a visit. It's often visited and packed with tourists every day.

So, if possible, take the entrance.

North of the Luxor Temple, an impressive and fragmented temple complex stretches over an area of 250,000 square meters. Dozens of rulers worked on it for more than 1,300 years. Behind the entrance is the Temple of Amun. To the west is the sanctuary of Khonsu and, as the third center of the complex, the festival temple of Thutmose III. In addition, there are further additions and alterations, halls and courtyards, shrines, and avenues. The enormous forest of columns on both sides of the central aisle, built by Ramses I and his son Seti I, and completed by Ramses II, is famous. The 134 colossal columns have a circumference of 10 meters and rise between 13 and 24 meters high. This indicates that the hall was previously covered. The temple is dedicated to the sun god Amun Ra, his wife, the sky goddess Mut, and their son, the moon god Khonsu. The Sacred Lake at the Temple of Amun served the priests for ritual boat rides and ablutions. A large granite scarab stands on the shore. It symbolizes good luck.
