When the sun goes down, the Giza plateau changes completely. The Sound and Light Show lights up the Sphinx and the pyramids while a narrator tells the story of the kings who built them.
What to expect
The show takes place in the open air in front of the Sphinx. Coloured lights move across the monuments in time with music and narration, telling the story of ancient Egypt in about an hour. Shows run in several languages on different nights, so check the schedule for your language before you go.
Tips
- Book ahead in the busy season.
- Bring a light jacket; desert evenings can be cool, especially from November to March.
- Arrive a little early to choose good seats.
See it from the rooftop
Our rooftop faces the plateau, so on many evenings you can watch the lights on the pyramids from your table over dinner. Ask our team about the show schedule and the best nights to watch.
