The show is a must see, the atmosphere and sight of the Sphynx and the Pyramids in the desert night is awe inspring. Shooting stars in the sky to boot. The cooler night air and breeze is also a welcome respite. However there are some provisos, do get your hotel to organise a taxi or driver to drop you wait... More

The show gives a running history of Egypt with a stunning coloured light show reflected off the pyramid walls. A must see when in Giza, but I prefered the Sound & light show in Luxor. My advice - see both! More

An amazing experience all round, we followed our visit to Cairo by 7 days on a Nile Cruise & then 4 nights in Luxor but left Egypt feeling that this was probably the best night of our holiday. More

Not worth the time as far as I am concerned. It is not entertaining, nor worthy of being called a light show! More

The light effects were amazing and the story worthy of telling yet it takes far too long to tell at 45 minutes we thought it to long by around 25 minutes More

Our tour guide suggested we pay an extra $5 and get dinner and the show across the street (the show itself is $30 each). It sounded like a good idea at the time. We climbed three flights of crumbling steps to get to the rooftop where we were the only diners. That was okay. The food was so-so. I had... More
