Paramotor Over Giza Pyramids
Overview
Experience the thrill of a lifetime! Soar above Egypt's magnificent Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx on an exhilarating paramotor tour.
This paramotor flight over the Giza Pyramid Complex gives an aerial view of the plateau for travelers who have already seen it from ground level and want a different perspective. After a private transfer from a Cairo hotel to the launch site near Giza, a certified tandem pilot leads a safety briefing and helps fit the flight gear before takeoff.
The flight itself lasts around 10 to 15 minutes, soaring above the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and the surrounding desert, giving a vantage point on the layout of the pyramid complex that isn't visible from the ground, before a guided landing and the return transfer to the hotel.
All paramotor equipment and safety gear, the services of a certified tandem pilot, private air-conditioned transfers to and from a Cairo hotel, and the pre-flight safety briefing are included; meals, beverages, personal expenses, and gratuities for the pilot are not.
