We received the earphones for well done Italian translations. Surely the temple illuminated at night is very impressive, but after 20 minutes we have already begun to get bored. We proceed along the corridors with the whole group to the lake view grandstand, where the plays of Lights are really minimal and you listen only to the recording. Dear

Watch the Magical Sound & Light Spectacle at night at Karnak Temple in Luxor, which we visited during our trip to Egypt. It was a fantastic experience, combining majestic narration and sound direction, with a magnificent illuminated temple rising in the night sky. However, perhaps because I had high expectations in advance, there was a slight oldness and monotony in the production, it was honest that it did not reach as much emotion as I had thought
カルナック神殿のサウンド＆ライトショーについてのご感想をお寄せいただき、誠にありがとうございます。ライトアップされた神殿の壮大さをお楽しみいただけたようで嬉しく思います。 ショーの演出に関して期待に沿えなかった点については申し訳ございません。サウンド＆ライトショー自体はエジプト政府によって運営されており、弊社Eyes of Egyptはそちらへの交通手段をご提供させていただく立場でございます。お客様からいただいた貴重なご意見は、今後のサービス向上のため、またショーの運営元へもお伝えさせていただきます。 弊社のサービスに関して何かご不明な点やご要望がございましたら、どうぞお気軽にお問い合わせください。今後とも Eyes of Egypt をよろしくお願い申し上げます。 敬具、 Eyes of Egypt チーム
The service provider was easily reachable and did everything possible to ensure that our service went smoothly: detailed description of the upstream service, followed by the smooth remote operation (transit with driver, recovery of seats and support). With our children (aged 5 and 8) we were able to fully enjoy the wonderful show.
Nous vous remercions sincèrement pour votre magnifique commentaire concernant votre expérience au spectacle son et lumière du temple de Karnak à Louxor !

Le spectacle de Karnak est effectivement une façon magique de découvrir l’histoire égyptienne ancienne, et nous sommes heureux qu’il ait pu captiver toute votre famille, y compris les plus jeunes.

Lovely atmosphere, nice light show and explanation of the temple. The duration was 1h, it pasted so fast as was very nice!

This tour is a must see. We went during the day, however, at night it is a whole other experience. The driver was really nice and friendly. Would recommend this tour.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with the driver and the knowledgeable tour guides at the temples. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future
Well, it's better than the Philae Temple Sound & Light Show, but there isn't much in it. The sonorous soundtrack is supposed to drip with integrity but bows under the weight of its own ludicrousness. The light show was a bit better with several colours and projections showing a bit more effort. But the mock seriousness didn't work for me. I spent the last few minutes at the Sacred Lake section laid on a concrete bench watching the stars - and was rewarded with a spectacular shooting star! That was the most spiritual thing that happened to me there. (PS. It's a fair walk from the ticket office, through the temple, to the Sacred Lake across uneven ground in the dark, so suggest it suits the sure-footed only.)

The air-conditioned car and polite driver Ahmed were nice to have had arranged in advance. However, the tour operator and/or maybe the driver were trying o cheat me. AVOID dealing with ‘Eyes Egypt.’ My tour description included the entrance fee. Driver sent me a message at last minute saying my tour did not include entry ticket. Then he stopped along the way suggesting that I buy my ticked from some man standing on a street corner instead of at the venue. I wouldn’t do that at home in the USA and certainly not in Egypt either. I contacted Viator and requested a refund of the 900 E£ that I paid for my ticket. Other that feeling like somebody was trying to cheat me, the show itself is well worth the price of the entry ticket.
Dear Donovan_R, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Karnak Temple Sound and Light Show tour. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the show itself and found it worthwhile. We're pleased that you found the air-conditioned car comfortable and that our driver Ahmed was polite. However, we are deeply concerned about the issues you encountered regarding the entrance fee and ticket purchase. We take such matters very seriously and would like to address them: Ticket Inclusion: We apologize for the confusion regarding the entrance fee. Our tour descriptions should be clear and accurate. We will review our communication processes to ensure this doesn't happen again. Ticket Purchase Suggestion: We strictly prohibit our drivers from suggesting ticket purchases from unauthorized sources. This behavior is unacceptable and goes against our company policies. We have initiated an internal investigation into these incidents and will take appropriate action to prevent such occurrences in the future. We're also reviewing our training procedures to reinforce our commitment to honest and transparent service.
I highly recommend Eyes of Egypt. The day of the show we had an issue and they went far and beyond to help us resolve it, even when it wasn’t their responsibility. They walked the extra mile for us. That is really valuable for us, to be able to trust in a company. Thank you, Mr. Hamed Galal!!!
Thank you and we hope to see you again
We had a great time at the Karnak Sound and Light show. We were there during the day and it’s spectacular to see Karnak at night. We also needed a wheelchair and the staff at the show were so helpful in accommodating our last second request. Be prepared to walk fairly quickly between scenes. The guide and his driver were so helpful. They arrived on time, waited for us and promptly brought us back to our hotel. Overall very excellent.
