What is the Sound and Light Show?
A seated evening show on the Giza plateau. Lights pick out the Sphinx and the pyramids while a narration, with music, tells the story of the kings who built them. It lasts about an hour.
Which language is it in?
The language changes from night to night. We book an English show unless you ask for another language.
Is it worth it if I saw Giza by day?
Yes. It is a different experience after dark, and an easy evening out on your first or last night in Cairo before or after a Nile cruise.
