Opt for the Karnak Sound and Light Show, one of the top experiences you must try in Luxor. Cairo Top Tours will ensure a seamless experience as our tour leader picks you up from any hotel or Nile Cruise between Luxor and Aswan to attend the captivating Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple.
Your guide will provide your tickets and escort you to the starting point. You'll begin by walking through the temple's open court, where the famous Kushite Pharaoh Taharqa once erected ten pillars, with only one remaining today. You'll pass through the grand hypostyle hall, built by Ramses II, featuring 134 massive columns that could comfortably support 200 men each. Next, you’ll reach the sacred lake, dug by King Tuthmosis III for priestly purification rituals, and marvel at the impressive obelisks.
The final segment of this enchanting show takes place as you sit by the sacred lake. The entire Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, narrating the history of the complex and the city of Luxor, the ancient world's capital, and detailing the temple's construction by various New Kingdom pharaohs from 2200 to 360 BC.
After the show, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Luxor.
