On our visit to the site, we saw the area allocated to the Light Show and decided from this and from the opinions of others who had been to the Light Show that it was a waste of money. More

Don't waste your time or your money on this. You sit there and listen to the stories all over again that you hear at each and every temple - was cold and boring with feral dogs running around the place - could easily seat up to 5000 people and only about 250 were there. More

This should be an exciting night out in fact the show does not seem to have been updated for 40 years and the dialogue in turgid. This is a huge shame as it could be fabulous. The viewing platform is on the edge of the desert and in January very cold at night so if you must go as we... More
