Full description

After dark, the Giza plateau becomes an open-air stage. Coloured light sweeps across the pyramids while a narrated soundtrack, with the Sphinx as the storyteller, tells the history of the pharaohs who built them. It is a relaxed way to see the monuments in a completely different mood from a daytime visit.

Your private driver collects you from your hotel in Cairo or Giza and brings you to the show area facing the Sphinx. After the performance, which lasts about an hour, you are driven straight back. Show times change with the season, and the language of the commentary depends on the evening.
