Classic camel treks past the Pyramids of Giza, along the Nile, and through desert oases.
Classic camel treks past the Pyramids of Giza, along the Nile, and through desert oases.
Few experiences feel as timelessly Egyptian as riding a camel across the desert with the Pyramids of Giza on the horizon. Egypt Rest Tours arranges camel treks ranging from short sunset rides to extended desert excursions in Luxor's West Bank, Aswan's Nubian villages, or the oases of the Western Desert.
Gentle, well-cared-for animals and experienced local handlers make this activity accessible to nearly all travelers, including families with older children, and it pairs naturally with sunset photography or a visit to a nearby Bedouin or Nubian settlement.
Whether as a brief add-on to a Giza Plateau visit or a longer desert excursion, camel riding offers a memorable, slower-paced way to connect with Egypt's landscapes.

Comfortable trousers, closed shoes, sun protection, and a hat are recommended. Loose, breathable clothing works best for the movement of the camel.
