The Sound and Light show at the Pyramids
An evening of history told by the Sphinx — what to expect and how to get the best seats.
What is the show?
Every evening the Pyramids and the Sphinx are lit in colour while a narrated story takes you through 5,000 years of Egyptian history. The show lasts about one hour and runs in several languages.
Tickets and timings
There are usually two or three shows per night, starting after sunset. Check the language schedule before you book and bring a light jacket in winter — the desert gets cool at night.
The Vertex way to watch it
Our rooftop and garden terrace face the show directly. Many guests watch it from dinner at our rooftop restaurant; others walk five minutes to the seating area. Ask reception to book your seats.
