One of the highlights of a visit to the historic monuments of Luxor, ancient Thebes, is the famed Sound & Light Show in the great temple complex of Karnak. As visitors arrive after sunset at the first pylon and walk through the magnificent hypostyle hall, they are treated to the first part of this spectacular show of music, historical narration, and lights and images played on the ancient walls. The experience continues as they reach their seats and view the culmination of the spectacle on the ancient stones across the sacred lake. This new, full-color presentation serves as the ideal record―or foretaste―of the Karnak 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 Karnak Temple and other sights of Luxor.

The Wonders of Karnak, The Sound and Light of Thebes by Zahi HawassThe small but impressive book Wonders of Karnak: The Sound and Light of Thebes is a wonderful collection of photographs of the temple area of Karnak in modern day Luxor, once named Thebes, and is also introduced with insightful commentary from Zahi Hawass, who is Secretary General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and a renowned archeologist. A large part of the collection of photographs are of the temple during the sound and light show that is put on each night for visitors to the area, particularly those that are on Nile Cruise tours. The script of the show is printed in this book. The photos exemplify the majesty of this wonderful archeological area. Having just visited Luxor this past fall, I found the book not only great for recapturing the experience I had while in Luxor but also a great aid at expanding my knowledge of things I did not grasp or understand about the temple and the area of Luxor while I was visiting. Whether you are someone who plans to visit Egypt, has visited Egypt, or is just fascinated in the ancient Egyptian past, the book is a must to possess. The photographs bring out the exquisite beauty and grandeur of the place and hold the images of the light show in place for one to marvel at for more than the few seconds you have when being at the light show in person. The book also has photographs of some of the other high points for anyone visiting or interested in Luxor or ancient Thebes. Beautiful book!

Verified Purchase

A very very beautifully crafted book which is an excellent record of the sound and light experience wether you are lucky enough to experience the real thing or not. highly recommended, packed with fabulous photographs, the only fault I could find Wonders of Karnak: The Sound and Light of Thebes , and it is a small one is that the written content left me wanting more.
