Sound and Light Egypt Reviews 

Visiting the Sound and Light at the Pyramids is a must. The English version is spoken by Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Sir John Gielgud, so if you can try to get the English show.
The text and performance is still the same as featured in the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" and experiencing it live is just pure magic. The VIP seats are worth the extra money.
Oh and well done on the online booking, it works very well and is so simple. Thank you for a lovely experience!

i was impressed by The show! It looked fantastic and I had a feeling of the Pharaos presence! The story was incredible as well.
I am really appriciative of such unforgettable experience

Quite boring and our dated. Wouldn’t cost much to invest in modern show. Then they might get a decent crowd.
Look at what they have done in Mexico - projections onto the pyramids and really decent story.

Beautiful scene and nice lights on the most wonderful ancient buildings.

Hello, I received walkman speakers for arabic translators which wasn't functioning well, sound was poor, changed it but again the same issue and was fixed the third time.
The speakers at place in the venue, some were not clear with low volume. I missed most of the show with the broken speakers.

Plus point I’m Very happy with the photos I took… I guess that’s what I paid for.

Paid for VIP seats…

Purchasing tickets online was very swift and easy staff at gates very helpful and pleasant…
However website failed to mention the showing would be in Spanish and not English… it’s just says foreign languages…
Guy at the audio kit cabin very rude and ignorant.. and not to mention you will be using the same “Inner Ear phones” that someone has just handed in… unhygienically gross, not to mention Covid-19 cross contamination…

Other than that I did enjoy all the light affects, I will have to find a YouTube or something online to see the English version…

Would I recommend it??? YES even if you watch in an unspoken language you will enjoy it…

Be sure to wrap up warm during the colder months… December can get rather chilly at night and you feel it more in open spaces…

By Tickets easy online, and Covid -19 social distancing ok. Staff very helpful assisting us to seats. Seats were fine and arranged well enough to view the light show. To be fair the lighting and audio sequences were timed well and provided a visual treat.

However it could be said that the dialogue needs reviewing by (Dr Aiwass) or some other informed Egyptologist as the historical time line is riddled with inaccuracies. If the Grand Egyptian museum is about to open and the National museum of Egyptian civilisation (NMEC) is now open with new exhibits then it might be fair to say the sound at this show needs updating to match the tourist interest in the pyramids. Audio output for other languages not selected is really poor to hear over the main language booming from speakers. I m English. I lost out on the night to the majority present being Spanish. I heard only a few words on my audio set as it was completely drowned out by Spanish. What I did hear sounded like a radio BBC 1920S presenter. Fine in a James Bond movie but not in todays world. I love Egypt having visited 11 times but tourists need to be respected for you to continue providing this show without making the show into an insult to tourists and an embarrassment to the Egyptian tourist industry.

The presentation is very simplistic, easy to understand walk through the ancient history of Egypt. The light show is pretty basic, nothing exciting to speak of, but very dated. I agree the ticket price should be raised and the sound and lighting systems upgraded substantially to include a digital screen, laser lights, and a stronger sound system. But, as this was my first visit to Cairo this was a great event to end my visit.

Technology has not been upgraded since years, and there is available technologies that can make it nuch better

You will have the best view angel for pyramids and sphinx, the utilities need to be completely updated
We still hear Amina Rezk and Hassan Elbaroudy talking in very hard arabic language, the seats need to be more comfy
You already have the best assets in the world, pyramids and sphinx, use it the max and raise the ticket price

Definitely do it. We took Ubers there and back and had no problem. Got there early and had a drink at the hotel's rooftop outside the show area. They just need to invest in modernizing it. Details below.

Pros:
- Beautiful to see the pyramids lit up at night
- Plenty of good seating (only ~20ppl and seats a few hundred)
- Free headset for translation
- Concession stand (but no alcohol)

Cons:
- Assuming most people here are tourists. Why do they blast the narration in Arabic and then have people put headphones in for their language? They should have it all be quiet, then everyone uses headphones. It was REALLY hard to hear the translation over the Arabic.
- Storyline was really hard to follow. Probably because the headsets are old and have lots of static noise.
- Should update the end to have a big finale. For the best pictures, start taking them early when everything is lit up at once, because it doesn't happen often.
- The guy that is demanding to take your pictures gets pushy. We didn't want him to do it, then he forced us to do ~50 pictures, then I paid him 100 EGP and he started demanding 200. Unnecessary...

Very poor experience. I was expecting something blowing my mind with these amazing moments but nothing.
There are 3 poor lights that illuminate the pyramids only at certains moments.
The story telling has no emotion. There is no energy. Just a plain voice telling some stories of Egyptian civilization with some poor visual effects displayed on the temple next to the Sphynx.

I was living in Singapore for 6 years and there is a daily FREE light show that is incredible with amazing music and synced effects, you feel in Avatar movie.

This show costs 300 EGP, more than the day ticket 200 EGP. I bought it for my birthday and I was deeply disappointed. Save your money. Don't pay for it.

The staff was very professional and helpful, the show itself was very nicely done!

I found it excellent in all the show details; the music, story telling, translation devices, translation quality.

Audio very old, quality was very bad. The history told was confusing, trying to cover a lot of topics and failing.

I was hoping for brighter lights and more creative as well.

If hosted in the hotels with pyramids view , you don’t need to pay for a ticket.

Smoking need to be stopped, people driving up to the pyramids need to be stopped.

And the worst part, we were scammed inside of the complex. We were going to withdrawal some cash, and a guy begun to say it was dangerous and he was going to help us out. He charged us 20 bucks for walking us to the ATM

Cons-Very dated, light effects need to be improved, locals driving down the road with dazzling headlamps needs to stop, people talking and eating food needs to be stopped.
Pros- spectacular setting

Horrible show, save your money

Fantastic setting and content absorbing.
However the music used was not really in keeping with the story-telling and the English voice used is very deep and menacing. You need a more pleasant sounding voice. The lighting of the pyramids one by one is not very strong. Needs to be brighter.
Could I also suggest use of a laser beam light to direct people where to look during the story telling.
Overall we enjoyed the show, andas previously mentioned, great dramatic back drop

The show is very poor, regarding the story and the light effects. We expected something different and rich. However, setting in front of the Pyramids are Marevellous. You have to introduce something equvallent to Great place and culture.

The show is nice and sitting in front of the pyramids is amazing
I am asking the officials to update the contents and make more attractive.
Iwhen are we going to stop the bagging and hustling in front of the show place even the police officials are bagging for money
Inside the show people trying to get money out of you by any mean
It is really sickening and devastating in front of the tourists

Thank you.
