On the history of sound and light in the Karnak temples, the sound and light and its dazzling shows on the walls and works of the Karnak temples were started about 52 years ago, and the necessary development is done periodically every year to serve tourists, as the sound and light project began in 1961 by Tharwat Okasha, Minister of Culture during the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser, and later the project was popularised in the rest of the archaeological sites around Egypt.
After that, the distinctive project was generalised in other archaeological sites around Egypt and was inaugurated in Karnak Temples on 19 December 1972 by Dr. Mohamed Abdel Qader Hatem, Minister of Culture under President Anwar Sadat, and is currently presented in Arabic, English, Spanish, French and other languages of the world according to the wishes of the guests of the tourist groups visiting Luxor on the day of the shows.
