Giza plateau Sound and Light Show

After an early evening pickup from your central Cairo or Giza hotel, drive directly to the Giza plateau in the comfort of your own private, air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy the views of Cairo at dusk as you travel, and on arrival, bid goodbye to your driver and take your seat for the incredible 1-hour sound and light show.

Watch as the Great Sphinx — the massive statue of a mythical human-headed lion that fronts the pyramids — is suddenly illuminated.

The Sphinx will act as the 'storyteller' for the show, narrating a distilled history of Egypt and the pharaohs who built the pyramids via a dramatic soundtrack. As the story of ancient Egypt unfolds, admire the brilliant laser lights and rainbow-colored projections that light up the pyramids, Mummification Temple and Sphinx in a multitude of hues, symbols, and hieroglyphs.

Hear how and why the pyramids were constructed, and take snaps of the visual extravaganza as the narrated soundtrack builds in drama to finish with rousing music and a captivating final crescendo.

After the show, reconvene with your private driver and ride back to Cairo or Giza with no other stops to drop off other passengers. Your experience then ends with a drop-off at your hotel.
