The Sound and Light Show at the pyramids of Giza, told by the voice of the Sphinx, with hotel pickup and drop-off in Cairo.
Overview
Journey through the history of Ancient Egypt with a ticket to the sound and light show at the Pyramids of Giza. Take your seats in the Giza Plateau to watch the story of the pharaohs and Egyptians projected onto the pyramids and Sphinx at night.
About the show
The Sound and Light Show at Giza has run since 1961. As darkness falls, colored lights pick out the three pyramids and the Great Sphinx one after another, while a recorded voice, the Sphinx itself, tells the story of the pharaohs who built them. The show lasts about an hour and is given in several languages on different evenings, so the language and date are confirmed when you book.
Good to know
- Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Cairo by private air-conditioned car, with bottled water and snacks.
- The show ticket is not included in the price.
- The seats are outdoors, and desert evenings get cool from November to March, so bring a jacket.
- The whole outing takes about 3 hours.
