Son et Lumiere runs multi language light shows from sunset.This is Ramesses II temple and it features two representations of him seated with Amun Ra. It is believed that the destructive earthquake that took down the second sculpture occurred some forty years after completion and repair was then considered impossible. At Ramesses feet are small representations of Nefertari and some of his daughters.
The light show is dynamic with the artificial mountains behind the restored temples being used to show projected motion graphics of Ramesses life and times. A deep hall is central to the structure and has a precise sun allignment which due to the movement of the temples is said to now be one day in error.
