Great light show at Karnak Temple that shouldn’t be missed. The service is for pickup from hotel, tickets to the show and then dropoff back at hotel. Tour guide is not with you during the event. Hossam who accompanied us was kind enough to give us some refreshments once the event finished. Would recommend to anyone looking for an evening activity in Luxor.
Just buy you tickets online direct and get a taxi with indriver app for peanuts ,,,this trip a scam of money,,,and they were very late the show already started ,,no help where to go or details given ,,show was good history lesson ,,but for 10 times the local price book yourself
Dear Thanks for your reply , firstly of all I would like to inform you for late pickup it was your mistake, as you write pickup is from Pyramids hotel (west bank),when we arrived I text you told me it was pyramisa hotel (east bank) ,Also we arrived 10min. Before the show started at 6.50pm and the show start at 7.00am. Regards,
Fantastic must do experience. Cooler in the evenings so heat was bearable. Got yo do this when in luxor.
Very neat experience and a good choice while visiting in Summer as it was cooler and enjoyable at night, show was in English when i went with portable players in other languages ( i heard another language for the next show after we left so there must be other options). The show is after Karnak is officially closed so your group seems to be the only one there at the time. Karnak is an amazing place and I would highly suggest visiting again during the day as well as you only see certain parts during the sound & light show, the history lesson is cool while the monuments are lit up matching the current talking point. Having this booked through a travel company took all the work out as they knew what time to leave, provided a private car for pickup, already had the ticket to the show and are waiting to pick you up after the show.
Rushdi was a very friendly & obliging guide. His delivery of information at the museum was passionate & informative. We were well looked after during the soud & light show which we enjoyed very much. The museum is a very worthwhile visit. Highly recommend Rushdi & the Reflections tour company. This was a private tour & it was great value for money. Vehicle supplied was clean & comfortable.
The Sound and light Show at the Karnak Temple is a must for anyone visiting Luxor. It was made all the more memorable by the excellent service provided by Mohamed and Aswaney from Reflections Travel We were picked up by an individual car not a group van which was quite a treat They whisked us off to the temple for the start of our show at 7pm. I would thoroughly recommend booking with reflections as they provide a pick up from the hotel and drop off and they are cheaper than buying ticket at the gate. PS. For the show itself, please check when the show is in your language. English French and German are offered but at different times. They do provide headphones for translation but it would be better to go to the show in your language otherwise it might not be so enjoyable
Very happy with this tour. The sound and light show was entertaining and informative. I know some reviews said the audio was cheesy but it’s actually a good history in a bit shell of the temple just with dramatic music. Mohamed was a great host. He was punctual and helpful and even called the hotel the day we arrived to confirm pick up time. Definitely recommend.
