This is a state-of-the-art theater that offers both motion-simulator films and IMAX projects, some in standard two dimensions, and one in 3-D. The glasses for the latter are really cool headsets that include built-in speakers, bringing certain sounds right into your head (though they're a little too heavy for comfort). The movies change periodically but always include some extraordinary special effects. If you have a fear of heights, make sure to ask for a seat on one of the lower levels.
In Search of the Obelisk is a motion-simulator ride encompassing an action adventure involving a chase sequence inside a pyramid. Two other less-Egyptian-theme-tie-in simulator rides that also play at the Luxor are Fun House Express and Dracula's Haunted Castle.
