Sound and Light Egypt Reviews 

The online booking is the most terrible experience. We checked every day for 1 month to finally be able to find the tickets available and the once trying to book the payment page has a bug and whatever card you put it gives you an error. Another day passed and another try and the bug was gone finally. The show itself is fine, I expected a lot more lights at the pyramids and squinx and less of a story. The sound is echoeing a lot but I guess that cannot be avoided. I recommend booking the VIP seats, price is almost the same and there you have seat cushions which helps you a lot as it gets really cold at night in winter.

Not worth the time.
Unfortunately the experience is quite boring, the videos fell like a 2001 power point presentation and the whole rhythm is slow.

The view was beautiful and grand.
Although, if I’m being honest I was not impressed by the sound and light effects, seemed miscoordinated and quite frankly very underwhelming. I think there is much potential here and this monumental grandeur of Egypt can be celebrated with much more attention. The lights could be better, more effects on the oysramids as well as a better depiction of the story; the sound could be better, the voice was tearing up lowering and rising without any sync.

The duration of the show is short and boring

This is not an actual sound and light show, it's basically a history presentation on a really bad projector screen. The presentation is something out of a 50s documentary on BBC, with an awful sound quality, and it's so bad you actually start laughing. It's also very hard to follow, so I ended up not understanding the story they tried to tell. The light show, consists of slightly illuminating the pyramids at some random points, there is no show, or anything remotely interesting in the way the lights are used. I get the feeling this presentation was made in the 1960s, when they first started, and it's never been updated since. Apparently, you can watch this entire thing from a rooftop restaurant close by, so there's absolutely no reason to waste $20 for this useless show. The only reason to watch this, if you have the right sense of humor, it's a laugh of how bad it is..

Lots of music, a little bit of information. Years ago the production brought the area to life. Now it is more of a music production with lots of dead spots. The seating is not at the base of the Sphinx anymore so the Sphinx looks tiny. We were very disappointed.

It was an absolute waste of money. It is SO outdated & the quality of both the sound & light was appalling.
Don’t both with this!

I was really looking forward to the Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza, but it turned out to be quite underwhelming. The show is far from what’s advertised — it’s basically some colored lights projected onto the front of the Sphinx while a story is narrated in the background. There’s nothing particularly spectacular or immersive about it, and it feels quite outdated.

Despite paying USD 26, you’re expected to tip the person who shows you to your seat (even in the “VIP” area), and the toilets aren’t even free to use. The whole experience simply isn’t worth the price — maybe USD 5 at most.

If you want to enjoy the pyramids at night, I’d recommend going for a nice dinner nearby with a view instead — much better atmosphere for a fraction of the cost.

A good experience, but I was waiting better lighting effects and more evocative music experience.
Is more a story teller performance.

Absolutely awful. It is just a projection on a wall at the start of the pyramid complex. The audio is from the 1960s in a classical WW2 style BBC documentary tone and voice. The music and sound are just as dated. We all began to fall asleep and couldn’t wait for it to end.

It’s so sad that they have not updated this since the minor updates in the 80s.

It was not as expected. The sound was not good and there was not that much light happening either so it was kind of disappointing.

I came to this show about 3 years ago, and it seemed very old fashioned in so many ways then. This time I came with my niece - I thought that, by now, they would have updated the show, but no, it was very disappointing. My niece said it was like the Cleopatra film from the 60s - almost comical in its old fashioned commentary and basic pictures. Come on - you can do much better than this at the site of one of the wonders of the world.

Show was dated commentary awful sounded like old pathe news reel check out you tube if never heard one,, as for light part of show absolutely garbage.Paid 52usd wait for it,VIP tickets front row seat, also shown to seat best described as a tramp wanting money, would be zero stars if allowed!!!!!!

Very disappointing. I was last at the show in 2007, and it was significantly better. It had moved on & improved from past visits.
This visit, it has just gone backwards. I would simply say it is just not worth the effort or the money!

We were quite frustrated : we bought 3 VIP tickets, sat in the front row, but our view was partially blocked by a large wooden box containing the technology for the show! Those seats should be blocked and not allowed for VIP tickets, since they do not allow a full view of the show!

The scene of the sphinx and pyramids at night is exceptional. The stage and management of the show are well-organized. The show itself is good, but a bit long. The first part about the pyramids and the sphinx is very informative. But later parts felt disconnected. My kids and I got bored towards the end. It would be great if you can limit the actual show to less than 30 minutes and focus it on 1 or 2 related stories, which will be more appealing to younger generations.

The sound wasnt good, there is barely lights or activity, was expecting way more

Don’t waste your $$ money $$……The sound and light show was meant to have projections alongside the lights and narration - didn’t have any and was the most dated narration of all time. A missed opportunity. This show needs to be updated to the 21st century until then stay away.
