The Pyramids’ Sound and Light Shows Are Back at a 50% Discount

The Pyramids of Giza don’t need any extra frills and whistles to imbue us with a sense of timeless majesty, but when the Sound and Light Show uses these wonders as a canvas for its technicolour display, there’s that extra je ne sais pas that brings these ancient monuments to life in the here-and-now like nothing else could. After a three-month hiatus, this iconic showcase will resume on July 1st at the Pyramids of Giza, Karnak and Abu Simbel - all at a 50% discount.

Just like any venue in the country, only 25% of the regular audience will be able to watch. And while they normally hold the show with three different language options, they’ll only offer the Arabic one for now.

And as the country rolls up its sleeves to welcome an influx of overseas visitors back into the country, other tourism destinations will also be opening up this July, including five museums and eight archaeological sites such as the Philae Temple, Salah el-Din Citadel, Deir el-Bahari, the Coptic Museum, and the Museum of Islamic Art.
