As we were in Cairo on business this was organised and billed as one of the highlights. Due to traffic delays we arrived after the start of the programme but had no problems buying tickets on the door as only a third of the seats were taken. We took centre seats but could still hear loud music coming from adjoining... more

Unless tacky is your thing, I would recommend saving your money.

Don't believe your tour guide when they tell you this is a "must see". This may have impressed people in the days before laser light shows, but you will see a more impressive Sound and Light show at any rock concert.

We were there to witness the Sound & Light show on the 12th Jan '06 in Cairo. The booking was easy thro the Semiramis Intercon Hotel where we stayed & it costs per person an affordable LE 115 9egyptian Pounds) which is something like US$ 20. This includes free pick up & drop from & to the hotel by a... more
