Our tonight's destination was Giza Pyramids at night time.

The place runs a world famous night event called 'Sound & Light Show'.

The show is presented in 8 different languages including English. There are 3 shows daily and first one is usually English. The duration is about 1 hr.

The show is about ancient Egyptian history, building of pyramids, some famous persons of that time and of course Sphinx

Pyramid of Menkaure; the smallest of the three

[aesiege]

[aesiege]

The middle one; Pyramid of Khafre.

It initially looked taller from naked eye but later on i read that it is built on higher ground so looks taller while in fact its height is less than the Great Pyramid of Khufu.

The biggest of all .... The Great Pyramid of Khufu

[aesiege]

Guardian of the Land of Dead ... The Sphinx
