Looking for a fun way to blow off some steam? You can now try skydiving above the Pyramids of Giza! This is definitely not your average weekend plan.
The experience is offered by Sky Sports Egypt, a company that specializes in sky sports and aerial adventures across Egypt. They offer skydiving, paragliding, and paramotoring, and all tandem flights and training courses are managed by certified pilots, so you’re flying with professionals.
One of the most popular experiences is tandem skydiving over the pyramids, where you jump with an instructor and freefall with a direct view of the pyramids and the desert around them. Prices for tandem skydiving over the pyramids range between EGP 15,000 and EGP 25,000, depending on the package and extras like photos and videos. If skydiving feels a bit too extreme, you can try paramotor tandem flights over the pyramids, which is a more relaxed experience where you fly with a motorized parachute and enjoy the view from above without jumping. These flights cost around EGP 6,000 to EGP 12,000.
They don’t only fly over the pyramids. You can also go paramotoring above the Red Sea, the desert, and other iconic landscapes in Egypt. It makes it a really unique way to see the country from a completely different perspective.
And if you end up loving it, they even offer training courses. Seeing the pyramids is amazing from the ground, but seeing them from the sky? That’s a whole different story.
