Skydiving over The Giza Pyramids of Egypt

The “Jump Like a Pharaoh” international skydiving festival takes place in Egypt's Pyramids of Giza region. Organizers say the festival has brought skydivers from 34 countries to perform 1,000 jumps over the Giza pyramids, with the number of participants nearly doubling every year.

Skydiving over the pyramids is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience to skydive near one of the wonders of the ancient world. Of course, the pyramid is a very big factor in attracting tourism, and jumping in the pyramids is a completely different pleasure, people seeing the pyramids from the sky is another thing, and flying and experiencing the adrenaline rush is another matter altogether, every year we double the numbers because people want to do something like this so much.

Skydiving is no ordinary experience, as it breaks the barrier of inner fear that this experience is uniquely located atop one of the seven ancient wonders of the world, the Great Pyramid, which many wish to see from the ground, let alone from the sky.

What happens to your body during it?
If you decide to go skydiving, your body will react in an unusual way, and while skydiving is exciting, the process itself triggers feelings of fear in the human body and puts it into a fight or flight phase, known as fight or flight.
