Pyramids photo shoot in Cairo: Professional 2-hour session

Get professional photos at the Pyramids without the crowds or the setup

A private 2-hour photo session at the Great Pyramids and Sphinx in Cairo with a professional photographer who directs your poses and handles the camera. You choose your preferred time, receive around 50 edited photos within 24–48 hours, and can add a camel or horse ride. Water is included. The Pyramids entrance ticket (700 EGP) is paid separately.

The Experience

The photographer meets you at the Pyramids and walks you through the best angles and poses before the camera starts rolling. You're not following a group itinerary. The session is built around what you want to capture, whether that's solo portraits, couple shots, a proposal moment, or family photos with the Sphinx in the frame. The photographer uses their own camera and handles all the editing, so you leave with polished images instead of raw phone photos.

The session runs 2 hours and covers the panoramic views of all nine pyramids, close-ups with the Sphinx, and camel or horse rides if you want them. You pick the time that suits your schedule and message your preferred time in advance. Water is provided. Public transportation options are nearby if you need to arrange your own way to the site. The photographer sends all edited images to your private online gallery within a day or two of the shoot.
