Camel Ride around the Pyramids During Sunrise Or Sunset

This is a fun experience but riding a camel is not the same as riding a horse. Riding a camel jostles you a great deal more than with a horse. You have to hang on tightly with both hands to the wooden saddle horn. At times you could feel like you are slipping off. We had a 4:30 pm pick up time which would have allowed us to start our ride as the sun was setting, however, they didn’t pick us up until 5:10 which meant we were riding in the dark with only minimal lighting from the surrounding space. Definitely would have been better with more light.

I had such an amazing time! Ahmed Mataro was excellent, made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Highly recommend.

The operator was nice and so was the young guide (15 y.o) that helped us mounting / dismounting the camels and took us up the dunes to see the beautiful Panasonic views of the pyramids from afar. We did not go around the pyramids as described. The whole trip lasted less than an hour under the hot sun at 110 degrees heat.

Camel ride was less than one hour, we paid for two hours for $88 not worth your money. Also it was far from the pyramids.
