Pyramids Rooftop Flying Dress Photoshoot

The Giza site does not open until 8am, so the first hour of the day is one no photoshoot inside the complex can offer. From the roof there is no gate: at seven the pyramids are catching the low sun and the plateau below is still empty. Between October and February the sun has only been up a few minutes when you start.

No. The shoot is on a private rooftop, not inside the archaeological site, so there is no entry ticket and no queue.

No. The dress is included and it is yours for the session. There are thirteen in the collection, all of them available: Cherry, Emerald, Navy, Black, Verdant, Ginger, Snowy, Golden, BronZey, Aqua, Lavender, Hot Pink and Orchid. Tell us which one you would like when you book.

Yes. We have traditional Egyptian attire for men in five styles. Let us know when you book.

You do not need to. The photographer directs the whole session, and an assistant handles the dress — which is most of the work once the wind catches it.

Afternoon, yes — the last session starts at three. In November and December that finishes about an hour before the sun goes down, which is the best light the afternoon has. The roof closes at four, so we cannot promise the sunset itself. If you want a time that is not listed, choose “Request another time” when you book and we will tell you what is possible for your date.

Thirty to forty-five minutes on the roof, plus the drive each way, which is included door to door.
