Enjoy this wonderful trip

The exciting history of ancient Thebes is shown in the Karnak Sound and Light Show. The show describes the great things done by some of the pharaohs and poetically describes the ancient treasures. As people walk through the temple complex, the pharaohs come back to life and talk about their fun lives while the mysterious music that haunts them streams through this ancient city. Ancient and poetic sounds tell visitors how Karnak was built and the great things the pharaohs and god Amun did. Listening to the sound effects and looking at the beautifully lit ruins is a magical and supernatural experience during a good show.
