If you are doing that, then by all means go to the S&L in Abu Simbal. I agree that Abu Simbal is fantastic, but it does require spending the night in Abu Simbal or taking a Lk. ![]() They clearly haven't ever seen the others. I don't understand it when people say they like that one best. I think LEANNA described Karnak PERFECTLY! No exageration at all. I wish that all the temples just follow Luxor temple example: Just light up at night and let people wander through it at their own paces, and forget the whole show thing. Especially when the show portion went into the hypostle hall I couldn't tell what was being lit and when. Well I did that and it was hard to see with all the heads in front of me, lol. One guide book suggested that you stay behind the crowd. I agree with Leanna that Karnak show can be confusing. Abu only had one show when I was there, otherwise, I would've seen it again. The first time to get a feeling of what's going on and then the second time to really enjoy it. I think for the lights show it's almost like you have to come more than once. Believe me, the narration will be much better and more romantic when you can't understand it If your native language is English, don't worry if you come on a non-English narration day (Abu has a headphone translator for free). ![]() The images projected onto the temples at Abu were stunning, and I liked the fact that you sit in the amphitheatre for the entire show. Hands down, Abu has the best light show out of the three. ![]() I went to the S&L shows at Abu Simbel, Philae and Karnak.
