Giza Pyramids Sound and Light Show
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.
Itinerary
Giza
If you’ve been impressed by the Pyramids of Giza by daylight, experience the magic of the monuments at night with a ticket to the Sound and Light Show in the Giza Plateau. Transfer from Cairo by air-conditioned van, and take your seats in the spectacular setting of the pyramids and Great Sphinx in the desert. A recorded commentary will tell the story of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt as images are projected on to the temple walls. Learn more about Ancient Egypt and each ruin as the story unfolds, climaxing when the Great Sphinx comes to life and speaks the words of a long dead pharaoh. End the tour with a transfer back to your hotel in Cairo.
