Lamis Khaled Hassan Azazy dreamed of having a wedding in front of the pyramids of Giza for as long as she could remember.

She grew up in Cairo and first visited the pyramids when she was a child, but she never thought it would be possible for them to be the backdrop of her wedding.

That changed in December 2022, when Dior put on a men’s fashion show in front of the pyramids. Ms. Azazy, a follower of fashion, attended the show with Sherif Medhat Abdelhalem, her fiancé at the time. “It was surreal,” she said. “When you step in the desert, you just feel like it’s magic.”

And so the quest to hold their wedding in front of the pyramids was on. “The Dior show opened our eyes,” said Mr. Abdelhalem, 36.
