Jump Like a Pharaoh

The country of Egypt has no civilian drop zones, but that doesn’t stop Skydive Egypt—a club of jumpers who are working to promote the sport in their country—from putting together spectacular boogies that feature jumps over the Great Pyramids of Giza. The club, in conjunction with the Egyptian Air Sports Federation and the Egyptian Air Force, hosted more than 100 jumpers from 17 countries (including a large contingent of U.S. jumpers) at the Jump Like a Pharaoh 3 event November 6-11.
