Helicopter tours in Cairo, Egypt
Flying directly over the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx gives an aerial perspective on the pyramid complex's layout that's genuinely hard to grasp from ground level.
When's the best time to fly?
October to April brings cooler, more comfortable temperatures and generally clearer air than the intense heat and haze of the summer months.
What should I bring?
Sun protection and light clothing.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Cairo have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
