Egypt - Cairo - Giza Pyramid - Light and Sound Show




It was quiet an incident loosing and finding the Wallet before we reached for the show. All of a sudden there were a lot of tourist vehicles reaching the place and there were people from all parts of the World. India being represented by me; my friends and a few other Indian families conversing in Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi and Telugu etc. Now we reached the Ticket counter and took the tickets.

The show was quiet colourful well choreographed Sound and Light. All the three main pyramids lit up well without colourful light. The story and main events of the Egyptian History behind the Pyramids being narrated in our familiar English language. People sitting in the open place on Giza Plateau. Sky was clear with the moon and temperature around 4-5 degree Celsius with a mild Breeze. The show lasted for around 50 minutes and we all got froze by then. A mix of people with some watching patiently, some clicking their digital cameras and displaying the power of the flash lights in their cameras; video cameras shooting the scene; mobiles taking picture and taking photos. I was recording the show to test the video and sound recording capability of my new Nokia E50, children's around playing and some crying due to the cold weather.

The show was good and different one. Wonder if there are such shows in India too. Once the show finished we had a photo session along with all the brothers and sisters of the world from different places. There were people dressed like Pharaohs with a live band to attract tourists. It was a nice experience and a memorable evening for us.

I had seen a Light and Sound show in Delhi, 20+ years ago. Not sure if it is still there.
