- Dieter A0 contributionsEmo Tours Egypt: Highly RecommendedBooked 6 different tours on my recent trip to Egypt. All of them worked out perfectly well, drivers and guides were always on time, friendly and knowledgeable, cars in perfect condition.

- Aisha A0 contributionsShame the Rosetta stone is in the British museum!!!If you love Egyptian history, then the museum is a must visit. There are numerous artefacts, and they have 2 mummies too. Just a shame that the Rosetta stone is in the British museum and there is a picture of it framed in the foyer as you walk in, indicating you need to go to London to see it in its full glory!! Even when making it a quick tour, you need around 2 hours to get around it all. There's a cute shop at the exit of the museum where I picked up a Magnet for 250EGP. Highly recommend a visit.Written 24 November 2024

- stephens4730 contributionsGreat FindWhat a fabulous experience sailing along the Nile in a purely wind driven authentic sailing boat , no noise from engines etc to intrude on this magical experience. So amazing to see the city by day and night and to watch the sun setting over the skyline of Cairo. One of the best boat tours we have done this year , so peaceful and relaxing.Written 24 November 2024
- csnms0 contributionsBest experience in Egpyt !Before our tour I must say that we where stressed because we saw a lot of bad things about the pyramids visit on the internet (scams, lot of people etc). But thanks to our guide, it was just excellent and a very good moment for us ! Our guide was Ahmed hamdy, and he was so nice and interesting ! From start to finish it was a very good experience, by far the best we had in Egypt. We booked the private tour, the car was on time, comfortable and driver very nice (and drive well which is not easy in egypt). Then our guide arrived and everything was perfect : very good explanations, very good photos, nice, with humour. We discovered the pyramids, we went inside, got to the point of view with a horse and also to the sphinx. He prevent us from being scamed and we are very thankful for that. He went beyond what he was payed for and after the pyramids he proposed us to visit a papyrus factory, which was not included in the itinerary but he took time for us to visit anyway ! It was very cool to discover and to bring back a real souvenir. We enjoyed everything and if we come back he is the only guide we will take for the trip ans recommend to our families !! Our tout guide was passionate about is job, you can really see he is sincere and wants the best for his clients, we wish him the best of luck !Written 24 November 2024

- lawrencep20200 contributionsTwo in oneWe really enjoyed our time with Ahmad during our last full day in Egypt. We purchased the driver option, but Ahmad turned out to be a great tour guide as well! He is funny, friendly, and informative. He gave us helpful pointers when going around Sakkara and told us a lot about the pyramids in Dashur. He is a safe driver and took good photographs. He also let us try fruits from the palm trees because we said we never tasted it before. We were blown away by his service. Highly recommend!Written 20 November 2024

If you stay in nearby hotels can just pay at entrance and walk in. Easier to go to roof of some of the hotels with Pyramids view and see the show free of charge from a little further away. Only basic light and sound affects. Nothing compared to Jean-Michel Jarre's millenium concert there. You are sat in a large block of ground level seats, watching some history projection on in front, with three colours of light used at times to illuminate the pyramids. Sometimes large formal dinners held for special events in the left area as you enter.

Tour operator charged us twice as much as advertised and refused to give me a receipt.
Hh also wanted US cash.
Light show audio was like listening to a play instead of clear historical information.
Of the 9 events we have attended so far in Egypt, this was the only non-5 star review.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this so was pleasantly surprised to see how entertaining it is. It is basically what it says with the Sphinx and pyramids lit up with lights and lasers and the story of the pyramids booming from the speakers.
I really enjoyed the show despite it raining but be warned, take a jacket or blanket as it’s quite windy at night.

Our guide Mohammad was great! He held up a sign in our hotel lobby so we knew it was him. He took us to a souvenir shop upon my request. He even got me a free gift. The light show was a little lengthy but is nice to see! You can get great pictures and videos. Make sure you wear warm clothes because it gets cold at night. I would recommend! Great company!

As spectacular as the Giza pyramids are, I would give this an absolute miss. It's old, very old, and if it doesn't put you to sleep with the 1950's style narration and music then nothing will. Cars drive constantly around and their headlights detract from the event...as bad as it is. It drones on and on in dramatic dialogue and is difficult to piece together because it's just so bad....
On a positive note, the pyramids do look great under lights but there could be so, so much more done to improve this experience and make it a must see highlight.

The Sound and Light Show at the Giza Pyramids is a truly enchanting experience that brings the ancient wonders to life. Set against the backdrop of the majestic pyramids, the show narrates the rich history of these iconic structures, using a combination of lights, music, and storytelling.
As the sun sets and the sky darkens, the pyramids are illuminated in vibrant colors, casting a spell over the audience. The narration takes you on a journey through time, revealing the mysteries of the pharaohs and the construction of these incredible monuments.
It's not just a visual feast; the atmosphere is electric, filled with the awe of standing in front of such ancient marvels. This immersive experience offers a unique perspective on one of the Seven Wonders of the World, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Egypt!
It was a unique experience from the other light and sound shows I've seen. This show might not be for everyone if you aren't into storytelling.

My wife and I went to see the show in the second session, which is in Spanish. Seeing the pyramids and the sphinx illuminated at night alone makes it worth going, the show could improve the lighting and audio effect anyway it's worth going. The surroundings at night seem not very safe to me so I recommend going on a tour. This usually includes a meal that is not worth it. If you have dinner paid at the hotel, I recommend that you have dinner there.

You can’t miss this! Stunning light show - don’t be put off by rubbish in Giza, the Pyramids and show are clean and watch out for staff taking photos-they’ll want a tip but they do take great photos so worth it. Sit in front row and pay extra.

This show is a must visit to complete your experience of the Pyramids of Giza. The show is a bit old fashioned though but still the lit up Giza plato under the night sky is sensational. Also our guide Noor is a wonderful person and had a great time in the evening overall.

Outdated and dated, we were all really disappointed. The sound is bad and the story is told pointlessly.
To be updated.
The one in Carnac is a thousand times better, it’s a journey through time and through the site which lights up as you go.
