Athletes fly over Giza Pyramids in Egypt's first ever air sport festival

"This is totally different from all my previous jumps. It is really exceptional to fly above the pyramids," skydiver Ahmed Alawy from Oman told Xinhua.

He said air games in Arab countries aren't very popular, adding that such events would help Arab athletes learn from the experiences of their western counterparts.

Alawy, who participated in many air games events in several countries, said this event was well organized and can be a good starter for larger annual festivals.

"The good organization and the location could make this event one of the best all over the world," he added.
