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.

Good but they need to prevent flash photography

The show in itself wasn't too bad. I thought it might be boring when it began, with old age English and what not, but I quickly got absorbed and learned a lot more here than through any guided tours.
The only problem is that the workers there allowed a gaggle of annoying tourist to walk in front of everyone and start taking selfies with flash photography. It ruined the entire thing. After we complained to them, they just moved the folks to the right where they continued their antics and kept talking in really loud voice. Considering that they allow time after the show for pictures, I think they should prevent inconsiderate people like these from ruining everyone else's experience.

The show is old style and not exciting.

The show is old style and not exciting.
There are stray dogs walking around the seats.
Allowing babies to enter the show is very annoying and disturbing because of continuous crying.
The lights are nice but the music sound is not and very old and monotone.
The rights side speakers are not really clear.

The show is very good but the place…

The show is very good but the place itself needs some improvements the chairs should be more comfortable and seats should be numbered like cinema ... And the place should be fenced not to find dogs and cats under my legs.. and also the translation devices must be improved to newer technologies instead of RF Radio devices

The show is good

The show is good, but there are some areas for improvements, most important that through out the whole show there were trucks working behind the pyramids, their light was distracting us, specially that one of the trucks had very bright LED light that shine right in our eyes, it was very distracting for a sound & LIGHT show.
2.Booking procedure is strange, I wanted to book 3 tickets 2 Egyptians and one foreigner, I was not able to book all 3 tickets together I had to book the Egyptian tickets and pay then book and foreigner ticket alone and pay separately. plus the booking website is acting strange.
3.Then the show was played in Spanish, and we were given earphones to listen in different languages (Arabic & English), the English earphone did not work, and even when we listen to the earphones we only hear the words but we dont hear the music that is played through the loud speakers.

Gloriously cheesy but dated show

The pyramids’ light and sound show, while gloriously cheesy and dated, is fun and a great way to spend an evening. I opted for the Arabic version, but surprisingly it was very hard to follow even though I am a native Arabic speaker.

Needs to be updated

The place itself is exceptional. You can see all 3 pyramids at the same time. The light show was nice, but needs improvement. People should be able to choose their preferred language. They picked Spanish that day for the language of the show and people were forced to get a Walkie-Talkie, needing to Pay a deposit of 400 Egyptian pounds or leave your passport with them, which is unacceptable. The English speaker is not very appealing. The voice is creaking, flat and reminds of something out of an old gramophone. The light show itself is wonderful. The accompanying text and speakers need to be updated. The chairs are old and rusty, but this can be overseen.

Needs much enhancement

The online reservation process was complicated and unpleasant. We were group of Egyptians and one forigner. First, I can't reserve egyptian ticket from English web site nor foreigner ticket from Arabic sites I had to do two different reservations. Second the show time in Arabic web site was 7 pm and in English web site was 7:30 which created much confusion. Third I was able to reserve the foreigner ticket and pay online, but Egyptians tickets failed to do the payment and said unsupported currency for EGP!!!! So I had to wait to reserve them from tickets window on site.
2. Chairs very very old and uncomfortable although we reserved VIP tickets.
3. The show is the exact same like 25 years ago when I last attended it. It needs update and modern effects and sounds, it's really waste of the great location to have such poor presentation, in addition there are wrong historical facts that needs to be updated and reviewed.
4. Audio guide process needs to be more effective and to let visitors select their preferred language by themselves like any other touristic place around the world, they don't need to wait in line for an employee to set the language.

On the positive side, the location is amazing and the view is breath raking, and employees are really nice and welcoming.

Kind of cheesy, but fun

Kind of cheesy, but a pleasant and restful evening activity. The narrative is rather rambling, but mostly interesting. I do wish they would have all the lights on at the finale for more than a quick flash to allow for pictures; it was hard to get both the sphinx and the pyramids lit up in one shot.

Zero communication

I bought VIP tickets, then emailed them TWICE asking them to change the time from 7 PM to 8 PM. Never received a response. Never went to the show. Thanks for nothing.

The magnificent and marvellous pyramids…

The magnificent and marvellous pyramids of Giza, with the enigmatic sphinx, seen at night with various suggestive lights. The narration might seem a bit naive, but it matches the pride of the Egyptians for their glorious past. Even if it was an unforeseen cold and windy night, it really worthed to be seen. To me it shall not be missed. Bring a scarf with you!

Extremely poor

Extremely poor. Paid for VIP seats for a show in English, but when I was there I was told more guests had shown up that wanted a show in Arabic so it'd be in Arabic instead. Not accommodating at all for foreign tourists.
