It was just what we wanted . Our guide Raffie: Took us to buy the appropriate head scarfs and helped tie them. Then on the way he suggested a stop at a shop that specializes in Papyrus showing how was made and then we purchased a very pretty one. The camel people were very nice and made sure we were safe and comfortable on our ride. We only wanted a one hour ride (even though we paid for a two hour ) so took great photos and brought us back to our hotel . Ours was a private tour. Guide so upbeat and nice and so was the driver. Book with them as all will be happy! February 21 2026.

Camel ride with unwanted extras

David_M, Feb 2026

I booked a camel tour, that is all I wanted to do. The driver took us to a paparus store with exorbited prices and then a perfume shop. After the paparus shop I told him to take us directly to the Camel ride, he refused and we spent another 30 minutes at perfume shop. Around the pyramids was a joke, we were so far away they were off in the distance.

hello you forget your wife asked our driver to take you to papyrus muusem , we did that with no extra, now you blame on us plus written camel ride outside the gate not inside , if you want inside ,you need to pay entry fee for govermemnet

Scammers

Narges_S, Feb 2025

My experience was not good here. This driver kept trying to take us to multiple places to purchase items from his friends shop. I was already exhausted and just wanted to go to the camel ride. But he took us to this perfume store and my mom likes some stuff and we thought we were talking about Egyptian pounds for pricing and they wanted to charge us $1300 DOLLARS FOR PERFUME when we got to the register. It was insane after that me and my mom walked out. And then he tried taking me to another random place! I said you either take me home or to the camel ride I purchased. So he got scared and took me there finally. The camel ride was fun and the men there were very nice with the two little boys. They definitely made us have fun. He walked us all the way up the hill and took some nice pictures.

Private visit to Pyramids with Camel ride

Maria_A, Oct 2024

What a wonderful trip we had. Doaa was excellent in guiding us through Cairo and its history. She is very knowledgeable and fun. Loved our trip to the pyramids and our Camel ride. The private tour was worth its cost. The driver was also amazing. Safe and very capable driver.

Fun, exciting, worth the sore legs after the ride

HermilynAnne_B, Oct 2024

Though we expected an earlier time for pick-up, it was still a fun experience. The camel ride was worth it. Bishoo was very patient and understanding. Our camel guides, Ahmed and Abdul were also very helpful and kind when we were riding the camels. Ahmed took great care of us during the ride and did not disappoint in taking pictures. It was a good 1 hour ride with the camels. This experience is not inside the pyramids, but you’ll get a good view of them from afar with less people in the photo (which I think is better). At the end of the tour, Bishoo brought us to 2 stores (oils&perfumes and gold store) which will test your resistance to temptation and good bargaining skills.

Dont waste your money!

Katie_G, Sep 2024

THIS COMPANY HAVE PESTERED ME FOR THE LAST 4 WEEKS TO WRITE A REVIEW SO HERE IT IS! dont waste your time and money these guys are shocking! we had 4 tour guides and went for a ride of max maybe 25 minutes the guides then expected tips everytime we changed operators and then at the end the last guy argued that 10usd tip was too small and stood over our wallet until we gave him what he wanted.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Magic camel ride

Matthew_M, Mar 2024

Excellent way to see the Pyramids in a unique Egyptian experience. Communication with the guide was easy and friendly. He made sure to take all of the pictures we could have wanted.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Amazing tour around the pyramids!

Rose_D, Oct 2022

We had a great time on this tour! Note that the ride is not on the pyramid site, but outside/around it when you book. We wanted our camel ride to be on the pyramid site, so the tour operator modified it for us (we paid for our pyramid site entries and did the camel ride there!) It was definitely worth it to see the pyramids up close. The camels we had appeared well treated, well fed and had been resting before our tour. They were given some space to rest and eat after the tour as well.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Magical

Kim_V, May 2022

This camel ride was everything I hoped for. The guide picked us up on time. The camels were waiting on the outskirts of giza for us to mount. The camels were well cared for and the owner was careful and experienced. We rode through a pretty street shortly to begin a trail in the sand dunes outside of the pyramids that you could see from a distance. The ride felt exotic, but also fun and relaxing when we stopped for a rest. We took some memorable pictures, but something about this tour seemed magical.
