Evening Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple

• After sunset, your tour representative will pick you up from your Nile Cruise or hotel in Luxor for a fantastic 1-hour show at the great complex of Karnak temples.
• The show begins as you walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, stopping at the towering facade of the great court and the awesome Great Hypostyle Hall. As you move through the complex, a booming Pharaoh's voice narrates the history of the rulers who helped build the largest temple in Egypt, covering more than 2,000 years of construction and additions by rulers such as Tutankhamon, Ramses II, Queen Hatshepsut, and the Greek and Roman rulers as well.
• The second part of the Luxor Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple begins when you take your seat overlooking the sacred lake. As the complex is illuminated, the story of Egypt continues. Please note that while the show is suitable for all ages, the ground in and around Karnak is uneven, so please wear comfortable flat walking shoes.
• After the show ends, you will be transferred back to your Nile Cruise or hotel in Luxor.
