Driver didn’t show up! When we finally got ahold of him we were told it was canceled yet nobody informed us. Our last night we could have made other arrangements
They light up the piramides and from time to time play a video and some lazers. While this is happening they go through the egyptian history, narrated by a british old school documentary voice. Its ok to see, but really nothing special for 20 dollar per person. 23 for vip, which is jusr the first 3 rows and a better cushion. The show is about 1 hour long. Make sure you have a warm sweater or jacket with you, because it can get cold with only a light breeze.
Thank you Mohammed Mahmoud & Ahmed Abo Kher for your friendly service. Though you can purchase the tickets yourself at the gate for cheaper than the tour it is good to book this package as it includes return transport from your hotel so you pay that bit more for personal safe transport.
The quality of the sound and professionalism of this show cannot be overstated. An excellent history of Egypt presented as if from the Sphinx. Our Emo guide picked us up at our hotel and helped us find a great seat. This open-air presentation is a fantastic way to begin any trip to Egypt, especially for those who love history. A great way to spend an evening in Giza.
You sit on chairs in the open air at night so that's pleasant. The show illuminates the Pyramids, the Sphinx etc following a narration you hear. It all seemed very impressive to begin with with. Then in a while, the narration's disjointed sequencing, overly grandiose air and overload of names and dates started to put me off a bit. Plus, the lighting effects weren't particularly imaginative given the fabulous monuments concerned. People were fidgeting and looking around the audience aimlessly towards the end of the show, and I was not sad when it came to an end. If you're planning to visit the Pyramids by day and explore around the area, climb inside etc, then you might want to give this a miss and do something else instead.
