Pyramids sound and light show

What this is

The script has not changed much since the 1960s and the narration is grand in a way that will make some people laugh. What carries it is the plateau at night, lit, with almost nobody there. Sit on the left-hand side of the seating for the best angle on the Sphinx.

Highlights

• The Giza plateau floodlit after dark
• The Sphinx as narrator
• Projection across the face of the Great Pyramid

What is included

Your itinerary

Good to know

• Wear closed-toe shoes; most sites are sand, gravel and uneven stone.
• Summer temperatures in Upper Egypt regularly exceed 40C. We start early for a reason.
• Bring your passport - several sites check ID at the gate.
• Photography is free at most sites; interior tomb photography sometimes carries a separate ticket.
• Desert nights are cold from November to February. Bring a layer.
• The seating is open air and the show is cancelled in high wind.

Questions

How do I book?

Send us the dates and how many people are travelling, by WhatsApp or the form on this page. We reply with a written itinerary and a fixed price, usually within a few hours. Confirming is a message, not a payment.

Do you take a deposit?

No. We ask for no deposit and take no payment to hold a date. Nothing is charged when you book and nothing is payable in advance - you settle with us in Egypt once the trip is running.

What if I need to change or cancel?

Tell us and we will change it, or cancel it, at no cost. There is no cancellation fee and no deadline to worry about, because nothing has been paid up front. If plans shift while you are already here, we will rearrange what we can on the day.

Is Egypt safe for solo and female travellers?

The tourist regions are heavily policed and we work in them daily. Your guide stays with you at every site. If you are travelling alone, tell us - we will match you with a guide accordingly.
