Pickup from the hotel is by air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by an Italian-speaking assistant or guide. On arrival at the Giza Plateau, the show begins: illuminated views of the pyramids move in sequence with narration delivered as if from the Sphinx, tracing the achievements of Egypt's ancient rulers over roughly an hour.
