00:00Many people go to Egypt to see the pyramids, but not many see them from quite this perspective.

00:09It celebrated its seventh year Tuesday.
00:11Organizers say almost 200 participants from 34 countries
00:15took the plunge over Egypt's famous Giza pyramids.
00:18This is founder Mahmoud Sharaf.
00:20He says jumping over the pyramids has its own completely different pleasure.

00:31It's my first jump over the pyramids, of course. It's a marvelous thing.
