Review the Giza Pyramids Sound and Light Show, with private Cairo transfers, practical timing advice, costs, and honest value tips.

“We loved it. Easy pick up and drop off. Everyone had told us the show was awful and not to waste our time but it was worth doing as we probably won’t be back. It was a bit outdated but so what. I’d pay the money just to get photos of the pyramids at sunset. I couldn’t upload them though.”

“Yaklaşık 1 ay önce bu program için 6 kişi bilet aldık ve seyahatimize 1 gün kala organizasyonu yapan firmadan (Emo Tours) basit bir whatapp ile programın iptal olduğu mesajını aldık. Açıklama istedik ama sadece program iptal edildi deyip başka bir program isteyip istemediğimizi yada paramızı geri almak için GYG’a talepte bulunmamızı istediler. Mecburen akşam yemekli nil tekne turu aldık. Sonrasında bizi otelden alan ve en başından sonuna tüm programda bizimle olan Mustafa ve şoförümüz Hamdi’ye yakın ilgilerinden dolayı teşekkür ederiz.”

8.All-Inclusive West Bank Tour, Sound & Light Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 41 reviews · 12 hours · from $130

Explore Luxor’s royal tombs, temples, Nile by felucca, and Karnak’s evening sound and light show with a private Egyptologist guide.

“Overall we overpaid by around €90($102) between the company over charging for extra tombs and then not providing tickets for the sound and light show making us have to eat the cost ourselves. The felluca ride was a let down, the way it's described in the tour is not reality - it's basically hopping onto the felluca, unlocking for about 20/25min - sailing about 150m from the pier, anchoring, doing a dance and then heading back to the pier. Not a true felluca sailing experience, felt like a bit of a tick the box excercise and poorly planned by the company. Overall the tour itself during the day was enjoyable.…”

“This was an incredible first look at the pyramids and not too long for our six year old. We had a few problems in the car and couldn't work out if the show had been cancelled, one of the roads was closed and we had to jump out of the car quickly and we weren't sure what we were supposed to do after the show. However it turns out our drive did his absolute best to get us there on time given that we went on a public holiday.”
