- Luxor Sound and Light Show - Depart for the Sound and Light Show at Karnak from your Luxor hotel or cruise ship for an evening of Egyptian-style entertainment! The show begins as you walk along the Avenue of Sphinxes, passing through the towering facade into the Great Court. As you stroll through the complex, a booming Pharaoh’s voice narrates the history of Upper Egypt and the New Kingdom, highlighting the various additions left by rulers such as King Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Queen Hatshepsut, all illuminated against the night sky.
The second part of the Sound and Light Show at Karnak has you seated overlooking the sacred lake as the complex is illuminated and the story of Egypt continues. Please note, while the show is suitable for all ages, the complex is very dark and the commentary loud, which younger children may find frightening. The ground in and around Karnak is uneven and sandy, so please wear comfortable, flat walking shoes.

Ready to walk through history? - The show is great, but be prepared to walk about a mile (walk area is poorly illuminated) during the show.
The lighting for the show and the sound is very clear.

Viator 's guide - Yula was the key to unlocking the secrets and making meaning of the visual aspects to the complex history. I had such a deeper appreciation because of their guide.</p>

Through viator you get a tour guide and a driver, but I'm not necessarily sure both are needed since all the tour guide does is escort you to the entrance and receive you at the hotel. If you're comfortable getting a taxi and buying your own tickets, I'd do it that way...</p>

Karnak light show not for us - I would not recommend this activity regardless of your tour company. It requires walking thru the site at night in the dark. At several points there are some videos shown on the wall and that’s it. Walkways are uneven at points and you could fall.

Skip it - It is a boring ,walk through the temple. Just go during day and you will see more. Not worth the cost or time spent. I would not recommend.
