The air-conditioned car and polite driver Ahmed were nice to have had arranged in advance. However, the tour operator and/or maybe the driver were trying o cheat me. AVOID dealing with ‘Eyes Egypt.’ My tour description included the entrance fee. Driver sent me a message at last minute saying my tour did not include entry ticket. Then he stopped along the way suggesting that I buy my ticked from some man standing on a street corner instead of at the venue. I wouldn’t do that at home in the USA and certainly not in Egypt either. I contacted Viator and requested a refund of the 900 E£ that I paid for my ticket. Other that feeling like somebody was trying to cheat me, the show itself is well worth the price of the entry ticket.

Dear Donovan_R, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our Karnak Temple Sound and Light Show tour. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed the show itself and found it worthwhile. We're pleased that you found the air-conditioned car comfortable and that our driver Ahmed was polite. However, we are deeply concerned about the issues you encountered regarding the entrance fee and ticket purchase. We take such matters very seriously and would like to address them: Ticket Inclusion: We apologize for the confusion regarding the entrance fee. Our tour descriptions should be clear and accurate. We will review our communication processes to ensure this doesn't happen again. Ticket Purchase Suggestion: We strictly prohibit our drivers from suggesting ticket purchases from unauthorized sources. This behavior is unacceptable and goes against our company policies. We have initiated an internal investigation into these incidents and will take appropriate action to prevent such occurrences in the future. We're also reviewing our training procedures to reinforce our commitment to honest and transparent service.

Great experience

I highly recommend Eyes of Egypt. The day of the show we had an issue and they went far and beyond to help us resolve it, even when it wasn’t their responsibility. They walked the extra mile for us. That is really valuable for us, to be able to trust in a company. Thank you, Mr. Hamed Galal!!!

We had a Wonderful experience at the Karnak temple sound and light show with our guide Fares. One of us had mobility difficulties and he ensured she was comfortable in every situation. He was informative, punctual and very friendly, he gave us advice on everything we were doing for the rest of our time in Egypt. In the temple we were offered a wheelchair. The show lasted about an hour and was given in a certain language every hour but had earphones in your language if it wasn’t your language in that hour.
