Sound & Light Show at the Pyramids of Giza

The Sound and Light show still runs most nights at Abu Alhol Square in Nazlet El-Samman. Seats face the Sphinx. Coloured floodlights hit Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure while a recorded narration retells Old Kingdom history. The official operator is Misr for Sound and Light and Tourist Development. Book on soundandlight.show. The daytime plateau ticket does not cover this entrance.

The English shop lists Regular at USD 20, child 6 to 12 at USD 11, and VIP at USD 26. The Arabic shop lists the Giza regular ticket at EGP 100 and child at EGP 60. Pay the currency the page you book on is selling. A second session needs at least five foreign tickets or five Arabic tickets, except Thursday, when the operator runs a full show. Website bookings skip that minimum.

Winter on the Giza governorate tourism page is 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00 from October. Summer sits later. Confirm tonight's language and clock on the operator calendar the same day. The show has paused before for plateau works. Arrive 20 minutes early. Stone benches are unnumbered. Bring a layer. The plateau drops after sunset even in October.
