You will receive between 150 and 300 professionally retouched, high-resolution images, depending on the length of your photoshoot. The average is around 200 images per session.

Yes — you can change outfits at our private vehicle between locations, or we can plan your shoot across multiple spots with different looks. We recommend 2–3 outfits for a half-day session.

Flowing solid colors photograph beautifully against the desert: white, red, emerald green, navy, and gold tones work best. Long dresses, light scarves, and comfortable closed shoes are ideal. Avoid large logos or busy patterns.

Sunrise (6:00–8:00 AM) and the hour before sunset (5:00–7:00 PM) give the warmest, most dramatic light. Sunrise sessions also have fewer crowds and cooler temperatures.

October to April offers the most comfortable temperatures (20–28°C / 68–82°F) and the clearest skies. Summer (May–September) is hotter but has fewer tourists and lower prices — shoots are scheduled at sunrise and late afternoon to avoid peak heat.

For sunrise and sunset slots, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance. Peak season (October–April) fills up fastest. Last-minute bookings are often possible — just WhatsApp us.

Personal photoshoots with phone cameras or handheld cameras need only the standard plateau ticket. Professional setups with tripods and lighting require special permits, which we handle for you.

Interior photography of the Great Pyramid is restricted and requires additional permits. Our team can arrange access depending on current rules. Most clients prefer photographing the exterior at golden hour.

Drone photography at the Giza Plateau requires special government permission and is currently heavily restricted. We do not offer drone photography for this reason, but we can recommend alternate aerial options.

Yes. All our photographers and Egyptologist guides speak fluent English. We also have guides fluent in Arabic, French, German, and Spanish.
