Classic Tour
Luxor Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple:
Your evening for the Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple starts with private pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor; your escort gives a quick orientation about the route, where the narration begins, and the best viewpoints, so entry is smooth and you can settle in as the pylons glow and the site grows quiet.
Karnak Temple — Sound & Light Show:
When the lights come up, the Karnak Temple Sound and Light Show walks you through the temple’s story—how it was founded, expanded, and celebrated—while columns, courtyards, and reliefs light up in sequence; you’ll move at an easy pace with natural pauses for photos and clear narration about the Theban triad and the ceremonies that once filled these spaces.
Midway, you’ll stand by the Great Hypostyle Hall as color and shadow bring out the carvings, then continue toward the Sacred Lake where reflections double the scene; the Luxor sound and light show at Karnak Temple ties in processions, royal symbolism, and the routes that connected celebrations across ancient Thebes without rushing or crowding.
The performance usually lasts about 60–75 minutes with clear wayfinding throughout, and at the end, your driver will be waiting by the exit for a comfortable ride back to your hotel or Nile cruise, wrapping up a relaxed and memorable night at Karnak.

I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
We had Ayoub as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable on Egypt and spoke English well. He also has a personality that is very easy to get along with and made our trip enjoyable
I went to Egypt recently and I had as a guide Mr Mohamed El Shemei which was excellent and made our experience amazing. He knew so much of Egypts history and he filled us with information however making sure it wasn’t boring.
