This camel ride experience was GREAT! Mido our guide helped us get connected and settled very comfortably with the Camels and their owners. They allows us room and space to take beautiful pictures with the Camels and on the horizon view of the pyramids. Camel owner Mahmoud was very kind as well. Definitely worth taking this tour !

This was an outstanding tour, great value for money with a punctual pick up and a beautuful lunch in a lovely restaurant. Omar was a great driver and Tamer an exceptional and extremelý knowledgeable guide. He provided succinct and excellent information and was very friendly and amenable throughout, stopping at extra stops for me to take photo's and without rushing me at any point in the day, making the tour and the entire day thoroughly enjoyable.
