The show is magnificent. Admission costs 90 LE. You don't have to reserve your place beforehand, but you have to arrive at 6 p.m. on site to buy your tickets. Do not go through a tour operator who overcharges. We went through Sun Pyramids Tours who ripped us off. They made us pay 630 LE per person, which includes return transport and the show. It's 3 times more expensive.

We had some time before the start, so we were given a tour of the Islamic district. The car we traveled in was also comfortable. We had a very enjoyable time.
