This is the breathtaking moment a man paramotors over the Pyramids of Giza – giving an incredible bird's-eye view of the ancient structures.
The clip, filmed over the Egyptian city, captures Nicolas Aubert as he glides above the stunning set of pyramids in a thin layer of fog.
The professional paramotorist, from Malaga in Spain, passes inches from the top of the second-tallest structure, the 448-foot Pyramid of Khafre, before circling back around another.

He then weaves in and out of the three monumental tombs - his paragliding wing swinging from side to side as he makes his way towards the 455-foot Great Pyramid of Giza.
Mr Aubert shows off the astonishing stonework of the ancient structures - including a fragmenting section at the very tip of one of the Pyramids.
He then continues hovering over the Pyramid of Khafre for a moment longer before gliding back to film a beautiful sunset over the city.
The three pyramids were built by the Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure between 2550 and 2490 B.C.

He then turns his camera to film himself above the ancient burial structure - which was completed in approximately 2520 B.C.
The tombs, the largest of which reaches 456 feet, were among the tallest man-made structures in the world for more than 3,800 years.
It is believed Pharaoh Khufu's Great Pyramid consists of at least 2.3million limestone and granite blocks - each weighing between 2.5 and 15 tons.
Giza's second-tallest pyramid, the Pyramid of Khafre, was built by Khufu's son Khafre alongside the Great Sphinx of Giza in around 2520 B.C.
Construction was then completed on a third, much smaller structure on behalf of Pharaoh Menkaure just 30 years later. This complex necropolis stands at 200 feet.

The 4,500-year-old structures were created to house the Pharaohs after their deaths, alongside jewels, weapons, wine and other objects they wished to bring with them to the afterlife.
It is believed thousands of highly skilled workers were enlisted to construct the pyramids - all of whom lived in a temporary city near the site.
But modern scientists have still yet to uncover exactly how these impressive structures were built.
Having started gliding at the age of seven, Mr Aubert, 21, now competes internationally as well as participating in exhibitions across the globe.
He then circles around the other monumental tombs, showing the beautiful and intricate stonework in incredible detail

Speaking about the stunning clip, he said: 'Freedom is one of the words to describe how I feel when flying.'
Mr Aubert recently took part in paramotor events in China, Thailand and France.
A paramotor, or powered paraglider, consists of a harness, engine and propeller connected to a pilot's back in a hoop frame.
The frame is then covered in netting to protect the pilot - who is also attached to a paragliding wing.
Mr Aubert then quickly glides away from the three huge pyramids to film a stunning sunset over the Egyptian city of Giza

The pro...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
