Complete waste of time and money (even more money if you booked with a tour company). The ‘show’ consisted of spotlighting individual statues as you walked through the temple site, accompanied by a booming voiceover which would be better placed on a B movie trailer, more full of theatrics than historical information. The grand finale saw you seated at one end of the Sacred Lake, but any expectation of Son et Lumiere with flashing lasers over the water was quickly dashed as you were treated to twenty minutes of the same boring voiceover interspersed with some dramatic music and ‘magic lantern’ still images of various heads, the sun, and crops displayed on the wall at the other lake end….there was lots of disappointment. Some reviews said this show needed some updating, a vast understatement. Don’t waste your time and money on this, visit Karnak during the day with a tour guide, it’s a beautiful site
