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.

  • Which tombs are open, whether KV62 is included, photography rules and any separate tickets
  • Start time, to be in the Valley before the heat
  • 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
