Experienced skydivers from 32 countries had an amazing flying experience over the Egyptian Pyramids

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest monument on the list of the seven wonders of the Ancient World and also the only one left standing. For most, it was the ultimate dream dive and a once in a lifetime opportunity to fly over but also to land just a few meters next to the Great Pyramids.

This February130 skydivers were invited by the official organizers Mustafa Saeed and Mahmoud Sharaf (Skydive Egypt) to jump out of the giant Hercules C130 plane (15000ft). Load organizer the legendary Herman Landsman, did such an amazing professional job, making it all run smoothly without a hitch!
