Itinerary
Luxor and Aswan Travel will pick you up from your Nile Cruise / hotel in Luxor after dusk for a magnificent 1 hour show at the ancient complex of Karnak temples. The performance begins as you go down Sphinx Avenue. Halting at the imposing facade that leads to the great court and the magnificent hypostyle hall. Walking through the complex. Booming Pharaoh’s voice recounts the history of rulers who contributed to the construction of Egypt’s largest temple; which dates back over 2000 years and includes additions made by rulers such as Tutankhamon, Ramses II; and Queen Hatshepsut, as well as Greek and Roman leaders.
The second portion of the Luxor Sound and Light Show at Karnak Temple begins with you selecting a seat overlooking the sacred lake as the complex is illuminated and the Egyptian drama unfolds. While the show is appropriate for people of all ages, the land in and around Karnak is uneven. So please wear comfortable flat walking shoes.
