If you have arrived at the airport and you have free time and you want to capture every moment of your vacation, you will have the opportunity to take advantage of our transit tours from Cairo airport and enjoy an unforgettable experience through our sound and light show at the Pyramids of Giza.
The Cairo Top Tours representative will be waiting for you upon your arrival at the airport to accompany you on your fun adventure in a private air-conditioned car.
The light and sound are one of the most significant initiatives that illuminate the ancient Egyptian culture. The concept for these shows dates back to Dr. Tharwat Okasha, Egypt's first minister of culture, and a special book for the project called "Temples were lit and the kings of the pharaohs spoke," written by Abdel Tawab Youssef, which was published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the first show coming out of the light. The sound and light project opened in 1961, during the administration of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
During the nighttime sound and light performance, lasers shine on the Great Pyramid, allowing spectators to see only the pyramid in the darkness. The lasers then shine on the Sphinx, the second, and the third pyramids.
One of the seven wonders of the world, the pyramids, and the Sphinx are directly and unobstructed in front of the observer. The show, which lasted roughly fifty minutes and amused a large number of people, told the story of how the three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure were built, how the massive stones were made, the function of sun boats, and other smaller pyramids that were later built in Egypt. It also explained the history of the Sphinx, including why its nose was broken and why its body was shaped like a human head while the rest of its body was shaped like a lion.
Finally, you will be transferred back to Cairo International Airport.
