Camel Ride

We decided to take a camel ride. There were many camels available for a ride across the back of the pyramids of Giza for 10 euros.

A group of us in our tour decided we would take the camel ride and see the pyramids from a different location.

We each mounted our camels and three or four of them were tied in tandem. The guide then led the camels across the desert towards the back side of the pyramids.

Shelley’s camel was tied to Ray’s and her camel would rub his head on Ray’s leg. The camel was friendly and Ray was able to rub its head and pet it.

We rode the camels for approximately 20 minutes until we reached the far side of the pyramids. From that vantage point we could see the complete horizon with the pyramids.

Our group decided to have a photo taken with all of us in front of the pyramids with our camels.

The camel ride to the far side of the pyramids was an extremely enjoyable experience. Riding a camel through the dessert was one of those experiences that will stay with us for years to come.
