Giza Pyramids Sound & Light Show
The Pyramids and the Sphinx, lit up after dark with a narrated history show.
Seated in an open-air amphitheatre for the show, after a short level walk from the vehicle.
About this tour
A 45-minute narrated show, told from the Sphinx's point of view, projected across the Pyramids' facades after dark — a lighter, easier evening than a full day in the desert sun, and a good add-on the same day as a morning Giza visit.
Highlights
- ✦The Pyramids and Sphinx lit for the show
- ✦Narrated history in multiple language options
- ✦Seating in the open-air amphitheater facing the Sphinx

Before You Book
The things travelers ask us most about this tour.
Not on this tour — Daytime Giza entrance (separate ticket) are paid at the gate, and your guide will tell you the current price before you go so there are no surprises. Ticket prices are set by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and change from time to time, which is exactly why we do not quote them as a fixed figure.
Yes. Hotel pickup and return is included — we collect you from your hotel or Cairo address and bring you back at the end, so you are not arranging taxis around the day. Tell us where you are staying when you book; if you have not chosen a hotel yet, you can send it on later.
Private. It runs for your group alone — private air-conditioned vehicle — so the pace is yours and nobody waits on a coach filling up. We do not merge bookings into larger groups.
Prefer to join a small group? See Weekly Trips →Very little. This one is easy going. Seated in an open-air amphitheatre for the show, after a short level walk from the vehicle. If someone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before you book — we can usually adjust the route or the pace rather than have you find out on the day.
1 evening / 2 hours, door to door from your hotel. Start times are flexible — going early is the single best thing you can do for both the light and the crowds, but if you would rather not, we will build the day around the time you want to leave.
Dinner, Daytime Giza entrance (separate ticket) and tips sit outside the price. Tipping is customary in Egypt but entirely yours to judge, and nothing on the day is compulsory — you will not be taken to a shop you did not ask for.
Yes. Travellers on this itinerary most often add Food Tour and Quiet Nile Felucca Tour, and any of them can be built into the day rather than booked separately. You can also swap a site, change the pace, or start from a blank page if none of this is quite right.

“This tour exceeded all my expectations and provided a truly exceptional experience.
