The Red Pyramid of Sneferu at Dahshur, seen across open desert.

Experiences · Sky & stone

Out of a plane, above the Nile at dawn, and deep inside the stone.

About these experiences

Some of Egypt is best seen in freefall, some from a basket over Luxor, and some only from a passage inside a pyramid. Compare the heights and depths, the time each takes and who will love it most.

Where it starts	Cairo; over Giza or El Gouna on set dates	Dahshur

Time actually doing it	About a minute of freefall and several minutes under canopy	About 30–45 minutes inside
Total time	Half day, allowing for weather holds	Half day from Cairo
Best season	Year-round near Cairo; Giza and El Gouna jumps on set dates	Year-round; the passage is hot, so go early
What you see	The desert far below, and the pyramids or the Red Sea on event dates	Sneferu's corbelled chambers, then the Bent Pyramid outside
What it asks	Nerve, a clean bill of health and flexibility. Jumpers must be 16 or older and under about 100 kg. Not for anyone pregnant or with back or heart problems.	A long crouch in a hot, airless passage, down and back up. Not for anyone with claustrophobia or knee or back trouble. The descent is steady, not technical.
What we confirm first	Instructors with a current tandem rating, and the operator's aviation permission for the date and drop zone Age, weight and medical limits for your party, before anything is paid What happens if the wind or visibility stops the jump: a back-up day and written refund terms Whether your date is a Giza or El Gouna event date, or the regular drop zone near Cairo	That both pyramids' interiors are open on your date Current ticketing at Dahshur, which we confirm rather than quote A guide who can explain the building sequence at the site
