Door-to-door Sound and Light Egypt at Giza with a guide, Sphinx narration, and time for close-up pyramid photos before the show.
“Great location - the perfect view! Well worth going! Some more modern sound equipment, an updated script and the latest in lasers would put it over the top. Viator logistics and employees were great”
Philae Temple at night comes alive with a narrated multimedia show, plus Aswan hotel pickup, a boat crossing to Agilkia, and entrance fees.
“My visit to Philae Temple at night was an unforgettable experience, made even better by the excellent organization of this travel agency. Everything was arranged seamlessly, allowing me to fully enjoy the magical and mysterious atmosphere without the usual crowds. The light and sound show was a great addition to the visit. A special mention to our amazing driver, Makarius, who made the journey so comfortable. I felt completely safe with him, which is something I truly appreciated. I highly recommend booking through this agency - scams are common, and even with a paid boat ride, they still asked for tips. Going with a trusted tour ensures a stress-free and…”
Watch the Great Pyramids light up after dark on a 1-hour sound-and-light show, with hotel pickup, guide, entry, and snacks included.
“The setting and lighting is awesome. We got there 20min early and took some awesome pics in the setting sun. The voice was loud and clear. The content got boring after the first 20 min of the show. They should revamp the content. Beware if the dogs in the area, they bark a lot and can scare the kids.”

Private Sound and Light Show at Giza Pyramids with hotel pickup in an air-conditioned car, entry included, and a multilingual guide.
“We were told we would be picked up at 6:30pm. Our ride arrived 40 minutes early than the pick up time. When we got to the car in a rush we were told that the show stars at 6:30pm. We reached the venue at 6:45 pm when half the show was over. We were not contacted earlier in the day to confirm the pick up time. We just got a message at 5:50pm that the car was waiting for us and we need to hurry as the show starts at 6:30! I messaged the driver that we weren’t ready and we got ready in a rush and missed half the…”

Rooftop dinner with Pyramids view and the Giza sound and light show, with hotel pickup and private A/C from Cairo or Giza.
“Arrived on time, very polite and caring. Made sure every thing was ok, sorted out the meal and was a reassuring presence. Light show location and meal very good.”
Night in Cairo with Giza Sound and Light show, guided city views, and a traditional dinner, with hotel pickup.
“Vervoer was goed. Gids en chauffeur waren aardig. We waren ruim op tijd in Gezeh. De sound en light show was een tegenvaller en zonde van het geld. Het geluid was maar vanaf één kant goed waardoor wij het verhaal niet goed konden volgen. Tevens viel de lichtshow tegen. Op promofilmpjes zag het er spectaculair uit, maar de realiteit was anders. Het tochtje met paard en rijtuig was wel weer leuk. De gids maakte nog wel foto's van ons bij de Cairo tower. Het eten viel tegen, Egyptisch fastfood.”
See the Giza Sound and Light Show by the Sphinx with Cairo hotel pickup and AC transport. One hour of pyramids at night.

“It would be better for participants to familiarize themselves with the Karnak Temple during the day, because not knowing the surroundings requires more discernment and concentration. Therefore, the Karnak visit should be done the day before.”
Cairo layover day trip to Giza pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Khan El Khalili and an optional Sound and Light show, with airport pickup.
“We had a great time ! Tigo was a very entertaining tour guide and help to customize our day based on our needs. If we were interested in a purchase, he would make recommendations but never pushy. Was totally OK with us skipping shopping otherwise. Didn’t try to sell the Read more”
Private Luxor West Bank tour to Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, then Karnak Sound and Light Show.
“The guide Adam keeps trying to upsell us to have an extra day of tour. He teases about the things he will tell us the next day, without telling us much during the actual tour. He also prefers to stay at the cafe area instead of walking the sites with us.”
Skip lines with an authorized QR ticket for Karnak Sound and Light in Luxor, optional private A/C hotel transfer, and 20:00 shows in 10 languages.
“Seeing the temple at night was a unique experience. Highly recommended. They have free audio guides with translations in all languages. We revisited the temple the next day, but we preferred it in the evening! Recommended.”
