Camel Safari
Egypt at Walking Speed
Settle into the saddle, lean back as the camel rises, and the desert slows to a quiet rhythm. No engines, no rush—just wind, hoofprints, and wide horizons. It’s the oldest way to cross this land, and still the most peaceful.
You can do it at multiple locations -
Skirt the pyramids as the plateau turns gold. Short sunset loops trace the edge of the desert with postcard views of the pyramids and Sphinx. Gentle terrain, iconic backdrop.
Ride from palm groves to desert cliffs. Routes thread past fields, village lanes, and the edge of the necropolis—soft light, river breezes, and glimpses of daily life under Theban hills.
Follow the river between granite and palm. Paths run past Nubian villages and sand-swept banks; feluccas glide beside you while the water keeps time with the camel’s sway in Aswan.
By the Red Sea sand tracks meet sea air. Shoreline ambles and desert loops offer long views, easy going, and big skies—often paired with tea in a Bedouin tent or a pause above the water.
Experience It
There are many variations
Short rides (30–60 min): quick taste, sunset photo ops.
Half days (2–3 hrs): out to a viewpoint/village with a tea stop.
Evening rides: cooler air, long shadows, stars on the return.
Combo tours: camel out, jeep or quad back; or add stargazing/dinner.
Tips
Early morning or late afternoon are best. Wear long trousers, closed shoes, a hat/scarf, sunscreen. Keep phones/cameras on a strap. If you have back/hip issues or are pregnant, choose a shorter route.
Stroll the desert at the tempo of old.
