Members of the French Navy's bagpipe band 'Bagad Lann Bihoue' visit the Sphinx - October 2020

While working on a long term photography project since 2018 based on the city of Cairo, I've visited the Pyramids numerous times. Before covid, the site was always packed with tourists and local vendors. The few times I visited during covid, it was virtually void of visitors, providing not much more than a good opportunity for stock photos of the pyramids. However, on a random morning visit last October, I was shocked and surprised to see a cluster of 20-30 red doted hats, atop the heads of a large group of pristine bright white uniformed men standing out against the barren desert landscape. A candid shot of a rare visit, made even more rare by the fact that there was almost nobody else around due to the circumstances.
