One of the highlights of a visit to the remote and imposing temples of Abu Simbel in Egypt’s far south is the famed Sound & Light Show, a spectacular show of music, historical narration, and lights and images played on the ancient statues and temple façades. This new, full-color presentation serves as the ideal record―or foretaste―of the Abu Simbel Sound & Light experience, with a historical introduction to the area and the temples by internationally renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, and the complete script of the show, accompanied by over 60 beautiful photographs of the light show and of the Abu Simbel temples and other sights of Nubia.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2010

The small but impressive books Wonders of The Pyramids: The Sound and Light of Giza and also Wonders of Abu Simbel: The Sound and Light of Nubia, are two wonderful books with collections of photographs of the two places. Written by Zahi Hawass, who is Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and a renowned archeologist, the books are authoritatively correct in their interpretation of the two archeological treasures. A large part of the collection of photographs are of the area during the sound and light show that is put on each night for visitors and tours. The script of the shows are printed in the two books. The photos exemplify the majesty of these wonderful archeological areas. Having recently visited Egypt, we found the books not only great for recapturing the experiences we had while there but also a great aid at expanding our knowledge of things we did not grasp or understand about the area while we were there. Whether you are someone who plans to visit Egypt, has visited Egypt, or is just fascinated in the ancient Egyptian past, or students of geography and history, the books are a must to possess. The photographs bring out the exquisite beauty and grandeur of the places and hold the images of the light show in place for one to marvel at for more than the few seconds you have when you're at the light show in person. The book also has photographs of some of the other high points for anyone visiting or interested in these places. Beautiful!
