Sound and Light Shows

The Pyramids Sound and Light Show  
Where else in the world on a warm evening under a beautiful clear star studded sky, can you sit and be beguiled by a magnificent statue, draped in light, narrating the history of the Giza Plateau? At certain times the ‘voice of the Sphinx’ resounds across the plateau bringing to life the history and fascinating theories which have been passed down through the centuries and which are now revealed to all who will listen. A fabulous laser light display projecting onto the Pyramids highlights details of these amazing structures. Wonderful historical scenes are projected directly onto the great Pyramid of Cheops, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A show not to be missed!
