1. Do you want to see, is it worth it?
Pyramid light show, many people are entangled whether or not to go? Is it worth it? In fact, the value of the experience of travel depends on the money, time and physical effort you have paid, whether it can be matched with the spiritual pleasure and enjoyment you have obtained. In this regard, everyone’s standards are different. Some people like old trees, ancient tombs, and faint crows; some people like grand, curious, and modern. I don’t think it is necessary to separate and oppose history and modernity. They each have their own beauty. Think about how many people opposed and despised the glass pyramid built by I.M. Pei in the Louvre… The sunset and sunrise of the pyramids are beautiful. Similarly, watching the colorful lights on the ancient body of the pyramids interpret and tell the splendid history of Egypt is also a kind of enjoyment! If the pyramid light show is purely technical, it can only be regarded as low to medium, but it is based on the pyramid and the sphinx as the background. The shocking effect in the heart + the actual viewing is still worth seeing.
2. Expenses
The price of a general tour group is 60-65 US dollars.
The actual cost is much less: 150 psi for the ticket, plus 25 psi for the vip ticket purchased. VIP is actually the first three rows of seats, there are nearly 100 seats, there are few people, it is very convenient to take pictures. The team guests who spent $60 were all in the non-VIP area at the back, a large area covered in black and very crowded.
If you live far away and call a taxi through the hotel, the general hotel will provide taxi service. The chartered car in Egypt is very cheap. I chartered a taxi at the time. The round trip was about 50-60 kilometers. The middle driver Waited another hour for us to watch the show, a total of 300 psi.
Per capita 175 + 100 = 275 (three people carpooling) A pound, the pound to RMB 1:2.6, so watching the light show, each person only spent 100 yuan.
There is a free guide in the light show. If there is Chinese, you must get one. The guide does not require a deposit. A passport is required. Among those who go with it, one with a passport will do. The one-hour light show also explains ancient Egypt and The history of the Pyramid, if you don’t have an explainer, you can’t understand it at all, and you will find it very boring. visit it.
3. Time and place
There are three Pyramid Light Shows at 7 o’clock, 8 o’clock, and 9 o’clock every evening. The viewing location is the empty field in front of the temple of the Sphinx
4. Content
The light show takes history as the axis and tells us the story of the 4500-year-old pyramid, including construction, legend, meaning, catastrophe, rebirth and the future, and at the same time briefly introduces the history of Egypt.
The tone of the commentary is relatively plain, but the narration is very clear and philosophical. I like his conclusion very much: all great buildings will eventually disappear, but the human spirit of pursuing excellence will last forever!
