Wonderful Camels - Untruthful Operator

Robert_B, Feb 2023

The camel ride was great, BUT BEWARE, the ticket says that all fees and taxes are included. However, when we got to the camels we were told if we wanted to ride up to the pyramids we would have to pay the entrance fee. (The entrance fee is 200 EGP, which is less than $7). Since we just gotten into Egypt and didn't know we needed to pay a fee, we only had US dollars. They offered to pay the fee for us if we gave them $10 each, without telling us how much the entrance really cost. I feel we were misled and taken advantage of. On the way to and from the camel ride they stopped at three shops and we had to endure a presentation and pressure to purchase products. Again not in the description. If it was just the camel ride without the misrepresentation and pressure I would give it 5 stars, but the feeling of being scammed ruined the experience. If you want to do this experience, message the company before leaving home and get the details in writing.

Thank you, my good sir, for this comment about your experience, and it is certainly not similar to the experience before or after you. This is a comprehensive trip that includes all taxes and fees and lunch also in a place overlooking the pyramids. It is a unique experience for those who do it. It is a trip that is about riding whatever camels you want Or a horse and enjoy the desert of the three pyramids and reach the highest point next to the pyramids to rest and drink hot drinks in this cold weather and take distinctive memorial photos, and when you come down from the highest point next to the pyramids you go to enjoy the special lunch with the charming view on the roof of a neighboring hotel, in the hotel there is Shops for selling because it is of course an archaeological area and all gifts are bought here like any other tourist place in the world and you had to accept or reject sir, but it is really a trip only to ride a camel or a horse and lunch, and we apologize to you if any behavior was issued that you did not like, but it is not from our company Absolutely, so may I give five stars only for my humble trip, my good sir :)

Beautiful camel tour at the pyramids. Muhammad was a camel-harden/guide with tourist courtesy. There were no savings on the superlatives - in view of extra earnings.
