Great evening event in Luxor
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.

Rip off bad service
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
Response from the operator: 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,

Luxor light and sound show
Fantastic must do experience. Cooler in the evenings so heat was bearable. Got yo do this when in luxor.

Take an early dinner and see something historical instead
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.

Luxor museum & karnak sound & light 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.

Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor:Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor &Balloon start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
