Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids — Rates, Photos & Booking Help
An unforgettable evening at Giza: the pyramids and the Great Sphinx lit up in colour and laser projection while the Sphinx narrates the story of ancient Egypt, with private hotel transfers. About 2 hours, from $55 per person.
2 HoursEvening ShowPrivate Transfers✨ Pyramids by Night
The show runs in the evening, and the narration language rotates by night — English, French, Arabic, Spanish, German and others each have their own scheduled evenings — so it is worth confirming your preferred language when you book. Seating is open-air on the Giza plateau facing the Sphinx and the pyramids, and desert evenings can turn cool, so bring a light layer. Showtimes shift earlier in winter and later in summer, following the sunset.

Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids — Overview
When the sun sets over Giza, the plateau puts on one of the world's great open-air spectacles. From tiered seating facing the Sphinx, you watch the Great Pyramid of Khufu and its companions wash through waves of coloured light while lasers trace scenes across the desert night. The Great Sphinx itself becomes the storyteller, its voice carrying the history of the pharaohs, the building of the pyramids and the gods of ancient Egypt out across the sands.
The Giza Sound and Light Show has entranced visitors for decades, and seeing the monuments after dark — floodlit, dramatic and far quieter than the daytime crowds — gives you a completely different feeling for their scale and mystery. The narration runs in a different language each evening, so there is a night for almost every visitor.
With private hotel pickup and drop-off, it makes a perfect, low-effort evening — on its own, or as the finale to a full day among the pyramids.

Anyone who wants to experience the pyramids in a completely different mood — families with children, couples, photographers, and travellers with an evening free in Cairo. It pairs naturally with a daytime Pyramids or Cairo tour, turning a single day at Giza into a full day-to-night experience, and the seated, open-air format makes it an easy, relaxed evening for all ages.
