About this tour
Experience the dramatic history of ancient Thebes brought to life under the night sky on this 3.5-hour evening (1-day) private excursion to the Karnak Temple Sound & Light Show in Luxor, complete with private round-trip hotel or cruise transfers, official show admission tickets, a private tour escort, and an Egyptian dinner at a Nile-view restaurant. This atmospheric evening tour includes 1 dinner (breakfast and lunch are not included).
Meet your private representative and driver at your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship at 18:00 and transfer by private air-conditioned vehicle to the Karnak Temple Complex for the English-language performance (approx. 18:30–19:45; exact showtime adjusts seasonally by 1 hour). Walk along the illuminated Avenue of Ram-Headed Sphinxes, through the Great Courtyard, and between the towering columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall as booming voices of the pharaohs and theatrical lighting narrate the rise of the New Kingdom.
Take your seat on the grandstand overlooking the shimmering Sacred Lake for the second half of the audio-visual spectacle, then transfer to a Nile-view restaurant in Luxor for a freshly prepared Egyptian dinner (20:00–21:15) before returning to your hotel or cruise ship by 21:30. Practical Note: Rated Easy (ages 2–85); bring a light jacket during cooler winter evenings.
