Camel Ride in the Pyramids of Giza

Camel Ride in the Giza Pyramids: A Journey of Ancient Civilizations

 

The allure of camel rides


A camel is a sensible necessity in the life of Egypt. Their role is critical, and the historic, witty name often given to camels is the "ships of the desert." Their mobility in a hostile desert setting naturally fits them for taking one across sandy expanses ringing the Pyramids of Giza. You ride a camel not to simply get from one place to the next. One rides a camel to live tradition, to experience the desert as the ancient Egyptians did.
This has a gentle sway to the proceedings when you mount your camel and start, which almost gets to be soporific after a long time. When you ride a camel, you move at a pace at which you can view, in slow motion, the great landscape sprawling up to the point where the pyramids grow larger and larger as they are approaching you. The slow and slightly lumbering journey, however, allows time and perspective to dawn on you and realize inhuman scale of the Great Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops, the eldest one of False Pyramid of Ancient World seven wonders and its two companions Pyramid of Khafre and Menkaure.


An Unmatched View Of The World Endangered Site


The spectacular thing to mention here about a camel trip in Giza among your Cairo tour is unimaginable unmatched view it provides. You are above the range of some of the great pyramids. At this height on your camel, you will see all around with all the pyramids. It is from here that you can see exactly how the pyramids have been aligned so that it corresponds to the stars; it develops the fact that ancient Egyptians must have possessed a lot of knowledge in regard to astronomy. The Sahara opens up in front of you spread out as far as the eye can see and it contrasts to the noisy city of Cairo in the distance.
The closer one gets to the ride, the more detail is obtained about them; one could not have done without noticing the huge dimensions of the limestone blocks that are colossal in weight, weighing up to 80 tons as that. It can only be humbling but a reminder that these indeed were marvelous works done over 4,500 years ago.

Egypt Tours: Tailor-made


For those who wish to have a more intimate experience, most Egypt tours allow options for special camel rides, guided by people who will give interesting comments on the history and significance of the pyramids. Such Egypt day tours typically include many of the lesser-visited sites, including the Sphinx with its enigmatic expression and the Valley Temple of Khafre with its own atmosphere. A guided visit can make you not just witness but also a comprender of wonders and their stories back in antiquity.
And, for travelers who are likely to be awestruck and want to feel that added touch of luxury, Egypt luxury tours push one to another dimension. Step off your camel ride and have a private dinner set up with traditional Egyptian cuisine and live music, just in the shadow of the pyramids. These tailor-made packages offer a seamless blend of adventure and comfort to create lifelong memories.

Egypt Travel Packages: Comprehensive Adventures


Engage in Egypt travel packages for the comprehensive experience. Most such packages include a variety of activities and destinations to ensure the full spectrum of what experiences Egypt: a walk across the sweeping bazaars of Cairo to a cruise down the Nile River.
Such trips include a camel ride through the Giza Pyramids, marking one of the best among the list of to-dos. By this mere fact, you have not only viewed the pyramids but were able to interact with them in the most dramatic fashion. Whether in a group of family and friends or a solo adventurer, in every trip, there really is a package that will be attuned to what you have in mind.
Here are some basic tips that will ensure a perfect camel ride experience for you:
Dress Comfortably: Wear loose, breathable attire that will help you keep cool in the hot desert. Another great idea would be a wide-brimmed hat and some sunglasses to protect against the sun. Stay Hydrated: The desert gets really hot. Keep drinking loads of water.
Listen to Your Guide: Your guide has a lot of information and safety tips. Follow the instructions to make your camel ride easier.
Bring a Camera: The views around are stunning, and you will certainly need to take some photos. A good camera or smartphone should do the trick.
Treat Animals with Respect Make sure to treat your camel with respect and kindness. These are very docile animals and very much part of the experience, and their treatment is important.

 

It is an experience in which adventure merges with historical discovery.

Riding a camel at the Giza Pyramids is not simply a matter of tourist activity; it is stepping deep into the heart of ancient Egypt. It is an experience in which adventure merges with historical discovery. Whether you are on a short Egypt day tour or part of an extensive Egypt travel package, the magic of the camel ride experience will always stay with you amidst the desert sands, with the pyramids forming an incredible backdrop.
From the moment you clamber up onto your camel until the last glint of the setting sun over the pyramids, everything about this journey is filled with age-old spirit from Egypt. So keep this unforgettable adventure in mind as you plan your next journey.

I know this came in a bit later than expected. I have so much to share but I think I will narrow down to the more important ones. Answering to which activity, should be more than 1 answer option because I’m gonna share it all! 😂

I was referred by a friend to Eid Moawed. One of the guides who helped me plan by bespoke private itinerary for 10 days in Egypt. And no I did not regret it! During my journey with Eid, I was told by other guides that I am lucky to have him as my guide and wallahi it’s true.

Throughout my trip in Egypt, I met different guides, airport assistance and drivers at different cities and they are all lovely! As a solo female traveller, I was well taken care of!

Happy Egypt organised for our family (parents and children aged 16-21) a made-to-measure tour of Egypt.
We started after a day break on the red sea and were leaving from Cairo. Happy Egypt organised everything for us: schedule, transfers, hotels, visits, entries, … as well as a super friendly very knowledge and professional guide whose role in making our holiday amazing was undeniable.
The tour took into account our desire to have family time, but also see the sites when they would be quieter, to have explanations during the visits yet free time to also look at our own pace, and overall, all were met.
Boat was very small (as per our wishes) with a crew that could not have done more for us. Water always available in taxi, boat, etc. No hassle from anyone, just pure pleasure.

If we were to return, there is nothing we would change and we will recommend this company to any of our friends who plan such a holiday: big thank you from all of us.

Thank you Ahmed, thank you Mostafa.

We booked a tour in Dahabiya from Aswan to Luxor. It was gorgeous. The boat was only for us. The crew, Mahmud the manager among them, was very obliging, the food was fantastic and the guide Mahmoud was an excellent archaeologist, very didactic and patient. We had a wonderful time with him, enjoying every moment. He selected the better places to see everything, he answered any question we did and always in good mood. I recommend this experience. Probably we will repeat with another part of the family.

This was such a fun experience for my whole family. We were picked up early morning at 4:30 by the balloon company arranged by Ahmed our agency owner. What followed after that was a series of pickups and boat transfers on the Nile to go to the West Bank. The excitement was palpitating and we were in awe to see a collection of all hot air balloons getting ready to take off. It was an unforgettable experience to see the whole city and right at sunrise, the view was breathtaking. Am so glad we did this.

When I started to plan the trip from Aswan to Luxor ( 4 days 3 nights cruise) , I got prompt response and quotation from Happy Egypt through whataspp, which facilitated me to make decision and planning.

We chose the MS May Flower Cruise which accommodations are clean, new and tidy. The services on the cruise was excellent with helpful and friendly staff.

I am provided with a very knowledgeable guide , Hany, who could introduce all the sightseeing points well and took care of us well.

The trip to Abusimbel was unforgettable.

The sail on Nile River with felucca was nice and enjoyable.

We also booked additional trip to Nibican Village , where the beautiful colorful houses catched our eyes.

The company also provided us a free wifi router.

We were a group of eight, three couples and two friends. I started our planning the trip by getting quotes from several companies,but Ahmed was able to provide the best value for our group.
We started our trip in Cairo and we're met at the airport where our visas were already in his hands and he was able to walk us through one of the long lines out to our driver who took us to the Cairo Marriott (last year we stayed at Marriott Mena House with Pyramid views).
Saturday morning our driver Kareem and guide Yousseff took us to Giza Pyramid Complex, lunch and then the Eygpt Museum.
Sunday we toured Islamic and Coptic Cairo, then lunch and shopping at KhanKhalily bazaars.
Monday morning we flew to Luxor and we're met by our guide Mohammed Hasan. We toured Karnak Temple and then boarded our ship the MS Esmeralda to check in and have lunch. That evening we toured Luxor temple.
Over the next four nights we were impressed by the knowledge that our guide, Mohammed Hasan gave us during the tours of the West bank of Luxor, Valley of the
Kings, Hatshepsut Temple & Colossi of Memnon, Abu Simbel, Philadelphia Temple and Eygpt overall.
All of our group was impressed with the quality of service, tour schedule and most of all our guides.
Mohammed Hasan as an Egyptologist has 21 years of experience. One of the group members was in his third trip to Eygpt and said Mohammed was far superior than the other guides he had.
From start to end everything was coordinated very well by Ahmed the owner of the agency. We really enjoyed the mobile hotspots he provided because it helped to stay connected.
Can't wait for our next trip with them.
