Not worth the time. Unfortunately the experience is quite boring, the videos fell like a 2001 power point presentation and the whole rhythm is slow.

The view was great with the pyramids…
The view was great with the pyramids and sphinx. The sound was very old and needs to be modernized. Seemed like I was watching a black and white documentary made in the 50s. The content of the sound was theatrical but not something I enjoyed. The voice and music were jarring and not pleasant to the ear. The lights on the pyramids and sphinx were good, but the projection on the stone slab was just ok, even from the VIP seats. The whole show probably should be revamped with new visual tech and sound. About 15 minutes into the show, we were pretty much done and the rest of the show seemed prolonged just to make it feel like it was worth the trip and the expense.

Although the show has a great potential to impress the poor sound system outdated narrative and bad lighting systems ruins it all
The chairs are pathetic !
Very underwhelming
Very underwhelming. The sound quality was poor, hardly any lights, and the voice of the narrator sounded like it belonged in the wrong century. We had VIP seats and they were all taken by the time we got there. Half the people left early. Not sure how they are in business. If I could give it zero stars I would.
Very disappointing
The show is not state of the art at all. It's really falling out of time, story confusing and difficult to understand, quality of sound is poor, the light was OK but could be synchronized with the music and the content much better. Would like my 3 tickets to be reimbursed $ 63 ,-
The advertising and sales pitch doesn't match
The advertising and sales pitch doesn't mention that is a night time walk through the temple.
When sound and light is mentioned to you (like everyone we spoke to on the tour), you expect music and a laser show.
Maybe this should be informed in the advertising.
The show needs a major overhaul
The show needs a major overhaul. The English show features British voices and sounds like it was recorded in the 1960s. I could not follow the story. The show consists of lights on the pyramids themselves, changing colors, but little else. A few projections on a stone wall. It’s not worth anything near $25. I was looking at my watch after only 15 minutes and was grateful it ended 10 minutes early. A family behind us left after 20 minutes and I wish I’d done the same.
It’s a show from 1960s
It’s a show from 1960s, needs an update asap. Felt like i was sitting in a 60s movie. Egypt government really needs to uplift the whole Giza experience.
The worst show ever !
The worst show ever !
So expensive for what it is. You cannot even call it a light show. Pyramids were barely lighted. It’s not worthy at all ! Please don’t loose your money !
Disappointing
View of the Sphinx and 3 pyramids was lovely. The sound portion (history narrative) was informative. Light display was very sad and disappointing - we expected much more. We have seen many sound and light shows throughout the world and this one had the most potential to be wonderful (due to the backdrop) and it was not. Engineers and technicians should look at what other sound and light shows are doing. There needs to be more lights and more use of the pyramids as screens.
Never recommending! DISCRIMINATED!
Our experience was so awful. Before the show, everyone was taking photos and videos with the view of the sphinx and pyramids. We came from dinner in beautiful dresses and when we started recording our videos, one of the workers came up and yelled at us that we were not allowed to take videos. Simultaneously, there were 15 people surrounding us all taking photos and videos. We asked the man nicely why he was targeting us and we were not able to take the videos and he wouldn’t give us an answer. He just said no or he was going to kick us out. He made us sit down in our seats and we had to sit there upset and watch tens of other people taking their videos and photos. I’ve never in my life been discriminated like this, and it was extremely unfair and without reason or cause. We wanted a photo With the view as well and this awful worker wouldn’t allow us to. Absolutely terrible experience and horrible service! Plus, the show was so boring that many people were leaving right in the middle of it and we ended up leaving in the middle too. Do not recommend going here!
Show is using outdated equipment
Show is using outdated equipment. The only benefit was great night pictures of pyramids
Boring and old fashioned
The storyteller sounds like its from a 1930-40 documentary movie, same the music.
The lights was just some colourspot that changed between the pyrimid ans sphinx and some pictures on a wall.
Boring, old fashion(like the show has rolling from the 30's until today) and it could had been done so incredible with the all technology that exists today- light and sound AND storyteller voices.
Not worth 26us.
The ‘show’ is extremely dated
The ‘show’ is extremely dated. It’s simply dubious narration voiced by various actors in the 1960s and it hasn’t been updated since. The light show is equally primitive. I’m surprised archeological experts don’t advise against loudspeakers being embedded in these precious ancient monuments - the vibrations must be damaging. And in the daytime the lights mar the views of these awesome sites. It’s not worth it on so many levels.
Do not waste money
Simple, there is no light and very fery few sound. Seems that this was designed in 1954 and not changed since then. Having such a magnificent landscape it can be done in a really superb manner. It is a pitty how they wasted
Waste of money
Waste of money. They very old & dated audio recording kept stopping. Each time it started over from the beginning. After 3 times (an hour and a half) we left - couldn't take listening to the same thing again. Skip to the lasers, that's why we came.

Everything was ok but the lack of a cafeteria was really disappointing
Front Row is not front !!
Lovely to see again (3rd time for me) but I took my daughter and her friend aged 9/10years old so booked Front Row seats so they could see it well. On arrival front row did not mean ‘front row’ but any of the front 3 rows…. which means we paid extra to still sit behind large adults. Tut-tut to that !!
Too expensive and unexciting
I was expecting something engaging and exciting, but instead the narration is boring and the audio is not of quality. With that view you can do much more, even an immersive experience
Tickets confusion rates , bad customer service
There is VIP price for Adult but there is no VIP price for 6-12 years old , so can you explain if a group 6 adults and 6 children are booking for the show vip , they will be able to set together?
Besides there are many channels for buying the tickets .They are in different prices for the same show and tickets .
There is no customer service to give answers . There is no one answering the phone calls. Very bad service for locals and tourists .
The show is outdated
The show is outdated, sparse and very limited light effects, partly poor sound. The lights of the cars going on the road between the pyramids is annoying.
Scenery would be magnificent, but tecnically the show is too old
