What To Expect

Begin with pickup at your Cairo or Giza hotel, then travel to the Giza Plateau in a private car. The driver/guide will help you find the perfect seat in front of the Valley Temple and Sphinx, facing the Giza Plateau’s three main pyramids, built by the kings Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure.

Watch Egypt’s ancient world come to life as the show begins, and listen as the voice of the Sphinx narrates the daily lives and culture of the pharaohs, queens, workers, and priests. Travel thousands of years back in time to find out how the pyramids were built, and see the pyramids distinctive features and highlights outlined in colored lights. See Khafre’s face illuminated by vivid green, hear the story of King Khufu’s sail into immortality, and discover the creativity behind each of Giza’s monuments.

At the end of the hour-long show, simply meet the driver/guide for the return trip to your hotel, where this tour concludes.

Waste

ANTONIO_M, Oct 2022

Tremendous waste of time and money. The lowest point on our trip to Egypt. It was so bad that we left half way through thew show. Will not recommend it to anyone.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear the Sound and Light Show did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment. The Sound and Light Show is operated independently by a third-party company at the Giza Pyramids complex, and we appreciate that opinions on it can vary greatly — some guests find it a magical experience while others feel it doesn't deliver. We value your honest perspective, and it helps us better advise future guests on what to expect. We're glad that our private transfer service got you there and back comfortably. We would have loved for the show itself to have matched that standard. If you're ever planning another visit to Egypt, we'd be happy to suggest alternative evening experiences that might better suit your tastes. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@pyramidsland.com. Warm regards, Pyramids Land Tours Team

Shoe starts at 8:30, how close your hotel is to the pyramids will decide the time you will be picked up. Iraki our guide picked us up, told us the history of the town we drove thru and purchased our tickets. The show is a must see. You will not be disappointed. After the show we were dropped off back to the hotel.
