The view was beautiful and grand. Although, if I’m being honest I was not impressed by the sound and light effects, seemed miscoordinated and quite frankly very underwhelming. I think there is much... See more

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.

Felt like I was transported to 1945

Felt like I was transported to 1945, everything is just old, the furniture, the music, the voices, the light show. The only amazing thing are the views, the location has an amazing panoramic view of the three pyramids and the sphinx, and you can get a nice picture when they light all of them up in different colours. The show is 1 hour long but we left after 30min. Really sad because this site has so much potential, but it hasn't been renovated in decades!

great voices... lighting to be improved

i came in 1990 and loved it as a little girl. the voices are from the past and they are beautiful and the story is quite nice
BUT really as for the lighting, there could be a real improvement! a lot of the time, everything is in the dark!
there used to be a french show... shame it is only with audioguides now...

Lot to improve on the show

Lot to improve on the show, felt bit boring on the story narration and background music, lighting display below par.. annoying part was during the show there were vehicles going around the pyramids with headlights on. My teenage fell asleep..

Sound and light Giza , RIP OFF.

Heads up guys, I've just been to the show and it is not what it should or used to be. None of the laser projections on the Great pyramid that used to be there are working now, picture projections are poor and out of focus, and all of the lights lenses must be filthy as lighting is very dim. When reported to staff and owner, they were very unpleasant about it, pretended to think that nothing was wrong and refused to refund. Be advised and maybe find something more worthwhile to do in Cairo.
Habibi 👍

Pyramids and sphinx are great but the light show and story narrative is poor, old style and uninteresting.
It needs to be totally changed and modernised. The venue is also poorly arranged with old chairs. The parking bus is messy. I will not recommend this place to my friends.

Not really a sound & light show, so far away from real light shows

Honestly, this is not really a sound & light show, it almost feels like kids are playing with their laser toys.

I would recommend you to look at the show at Burj Khalifa, or the Light show in Hong Kong, and probably get inspired by them, I'm an Egyptian, and I took my foreign friends to that show, thinking it would be something special, but it was the most boring 50 mins of our day.

This was fun with one minor issue

This was fun. The show was a little corny, but being in that area at night with all the lights was great. The only issue was that we booked tickets for a show in English and then they changed it to Spanish, because there were more Spanish speaking people there. So at the last minute, we had to run back to the front and stand on line to get translator audio sets. They should mention this possibility on the web site.

Save your time, money and energy.

Of all the ways you can get ripped off in Egypt, this one took the cake. If I could give 0 stars I would. I say this as an Egyptian/Canadian. I bought 3 tickets at the 'foreigner price' and we ended up at a show that the website said would offer ALL Languages, but as it turns out, they play the language of the majority that is seated at a show. And I was supposed to somehow know, without any of the documents or people that were standing around to go to a tiny kiosk and get a translator machine thing with the language we want. I'm pretty sure I'd have had to buy the headphones though. Customer support will not reply if you have issues. I highly recommend you save your money. Even if we understood, it was a 2nd rate sound and light - the ads are much more appealing.

The show was good but we expected a little bit more "waou effect" with lights. More light effect will be better. With more color, more effect on the pyramide (projection).
Story was good and very poetic.
Good sound.
Nobody tell us, no indication on confirmation or anywhere else, that we need passport or ID card for the rent of the headphones.... So we can't have it.

Disapointed by the show, but nice view of the pyramids by night

I was a bit disappointed by the show itself, it is kinda old with poor lights effects. Nowadays, technology makes it way more impressive, especially concerning mooving light effects. Voices recorded were straight out of a 60's moovie, witch is immersive and "mysterious" but also not very suited for a show in 2022 at one of the greatest touristical site in the world.

Also, people did not respect each others in the public. Two security personnels kept talking during most part of the show, witch made a constant noise to the right ear as they were on the right stone wall. Also people standing up during the show in font of our chairs, in order to film parts of the show ... Had to get up to ask people to lower their cameras so i could get to see the show :(

I appreciated to see the Spinx and the pyramids by night and with some nice lights, but i was unfortunately unable to fully appreciate the show for the reasons mentioned before.
