Sound & Light Show At The Pyramids

This evening tour brings travelers to the Giza Plateau for the Pyramids Sound and Light Show, an outdoor performance that uses lighting and narration projected onto the pyramids and the Sphinx to tell the story of ancient Egypt after dark.

Guests are collected from their Cairo or Giza hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle as the sun begins to set, timed so the group arrives at the plateau just as darkness falls. Once the show begins, the Sphinx appears to narrate accounts of the pharaohs while lasers and colored lights sweep across the pyramid facades for a performance that runs a little over two hours. Afterward, guests are met by their private driver for the return transfer to their hotel.

An English-speaking representative accompanies the group throughout, and the price includes hotel pickup and drop-off, the private air-conditioned vehicle, and the show's entrance fee, along with bottled water and all taxes and service charges; only tipping and personal extras are left out.

Because it runs in the evening after the heat of the day has passed, this outing suits couples, families with older children, and anyone who has already toured the pyramids by daylight and wants a very different, atmospheric way to see them again, as well as travelers with a short Cairo stay who want an easy evening activity that still delivers a memorable view of the Giza monuments.
