Itinerary:

Experience the Pyramids Sound and Light Show on a Cairo Day Tour, where the majestic Great Pyramids and the Sphinx are illuminated in a stunning light display. Once a representative of Around Egypt Tours drops you off at your hotel, the pipedream feeling of going to the pyramids almost seems to come to life then and there. Once there, you will be taken back in time with the story of how the pyramids came to be. Fantastic lights and sounds create a magical mood as you are led through all the ancient history of Egypt. But this isn't just a show for the pyramids; it also rubs shoulders with some of the most beloved names of Egypt-the musicians whose legacies echo in the ancients' walls-those quite-familiar names like Thutmosis IV, Akhnaten, Nefertiti, and Tut Ankh Amon. Learn of their achievements and contributions to the ancient Egyptian society and get a stronger insight into this fascinating culture. Enlightened and inspired will be the final note of this unfinished show. Thus, the Pyramid Light Show isn't just pure fun; it is highly entertaining and educational all rolled into one. The mind leaving is filled with wonders of what ancients achieved.

Last of Wonders—this is how the Giza Pyramids rose to have coined themselves among the most spectacular natural and manmade wonders of the world. The proof of the human form of this structure, yet unanswered mystery on how, why, and when it comes to constructing it, remains in this writing as a journey towards unraveling the secrets. An Egypt tour to see the Giza Pyramids offers the best opportunity to observe these structures in person and step into a history of awe and inspiration. With every visit, the ancient mysteries propel more exploration and learning, making the Giza Pyramids a must on any path through Egypt's rich cultural heritage.

Why did the Pharaohs build the Giza Pyramids?

The Giza Pyramids have been a subject of fascination for historians and archaeologists for many centuries, and a number of hypotheses have amassed trying to explain their purposes. Most of the mainstream beliefs hold that the pyramids were probably meant as tombs for the pharaohs and their wives after death.

The Egyptian pyramids are masterfully crafted with incredible architectural precision to show the unmatched prowess of ancient Egyptian builders. Each limestone block weighing tons gives the sheer grandeur of these monuments a challenge to modern understanding of modern construction techniques.

One common theory believes that the pyramids stood for the godly authority and eternal legacy of the Pharaohs, that is, as he was believed to be immortal, the pharaoh constructed these enormous holdings to eternalize his reign.

Some scholars have suggested that the alignment of the pyramids with celestial events, such as the alignment of the Great Pyramid with the North Pole star, points to the ancient Egyptians' great interest in astronomy, meaning that astronomical knowledge played a great role in building architectural wonders.

However, of all the theories, no one has actually come across the real intent behind the construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza. Yet, their interest continues to enthrall the whole world in testimony of the wondrous deeds of ancient peoples and the world's memory of human genius through all times.
