Nice catch.
Because you can't get any closer. Booked and received vouchers and confirmations. Two hours before the show, the notification of the cancellation of our voucher arrives from the operator despite the fact that for 2 days I kept writing to receive details about the pick-up time from the hotel. Unserious and professional also because it was part of our New Year's Eve party. Cancelled on 2 feet but 5 working days x have due refund.

Do not book under any circumstances
Do not book this tour. The driver never showed up and ignored all messages. In addition, the tour doesn’t tell you that the English version of the show starts at 6:30, so even if the driver had picked me up I still would have missed it. Massive fail.

Afternoon in Cairo
We had a great time in our trip yesterday. The communication was excellent since the time we made the reservation . We were contacted by the manager of the agency and he arranged everything for a smooth pick up and the tickets for the show were ready for us. Our guide Mohamed was very friendly and enthusiastic. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. We had a short layover in Cairo so this was a great opportunity to see the pyramids. We are very happy we booked this tour. Thank you for everything.

Perfect
In Egypt, sound and light shows weave tales as ancient as the pyramids themselves. As twilight settles over Giza, illuminations paint the colossal stones, revealing secrets etched by pharaohs. Voices echo through time, recounting the splendor of dynasties long past, while shadows dance against the backdrop of millennia-old architecture. The Great Sphinx emerges, its enigmatic gaze bathed in hues that evoke the desert's mystique. Each flicker of light and cadence of sound transforms the night into a symphony of history, captivating visitors with a glimpse into Egypt's timeless allure, where ancient wonders whisper tales under the stars.
