The real joy of this experience seeing the sunset behind the pyramids. We arrived with plenty of time for sunset. The temperatures were cooler and you did not have a barrage of tourists or of locals demanding tips for everything. That alone made this a worthwhile experience. You can easily get great photos without other people in them. Seeing the pyramids lit up at night was also well worth the time and price. Our guide was Jimmy and he was probably the best tour guide we had in our whole two weeks in Egypt. I wish we had had him for other tours (because this tour had little explaining necessary). Jimmy mentioned before that the they had been doing the same sound and light show since the 1970s. Uh...yeah... That sounds and light show was so hokey and boring. This is no fault of the tour company and Jimmy said that all of the guides complain about it and that it needs to be updated. Apparently, it is being updated. But wow, that was perhaps the most boring sound and light show that I have every seen. At times I just had to laugh it was that bad. If want to bore a group of tourists about the grandeur of Egypt's history, make them sit through this show. Many people left half-way through. Knowing what I know, I still would have done this just to see the sunset and the pyramids lit up at night (though they could do a better job lighting them up...technology has advanced so much since the 1970s...). Just set your expectations very low for the sound and light show portion.
Our tour guide for camel ride and pyramids light show was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of egypt. He was also very kind and helped us with any questions we had. Highly recommend khalefa, he is great.
