We had an absolutely amazing time riding the camels. We felt very safe and the animals were well behaved. Their handlers did a good job controlling them and making sure we were comfortable on the camels. It was also quite endearing to see how some of the handlers clearly love and care for their animals, often nuzzling their faces when we stopped and tussling their fur when one of them did something funny. To top it all off, watching the sunset over the desert was quite stunning. After we returned to the stable, the owner showed us around and let us feed some of the camels, which was also quite fun. Would highly recommend this experience.

A unforgettable experience! The three hour tour was the right amount of time and distance with a short break halfway to rest and take in the desert view! Very friendly guide! Highly recommend!

Must do for camel riding in Luxor

Incredible ride through a small village and into the desert. We were very well looked after, and so were the camels. We booked 2hrs and extended to 3hrs without issue on the day.

Amazing experience

We went for a 3h sunrise tour and rode through sugarcane, banana fields, villages and along different monuments to the starting point of the hot air balloons to see them rise. It was a magical experience! The camels are led by a super friendly guide who also made pictures of us. We felt very safe. They also offer private pick-up service by motorboat directly from your hotel if you stay like us on the east bank. The animals are in excellent condition and are treated well. They live on a big paddock with shade, food and water and you can feel that they are part of the family. Would highly recommend and book again!

So much fun!!!

We were picked up from our hotel on a boat and got over to the camels across the Nile. It was a great start to a memorable trip. The start time was flexible to fit our schedule, and each part along the way was memorable, from our captain allowing my wife to steer the boat on the Nile to the camel ride to the owner opening up his home to us. The camels were well-mannered and easy to ride and our guides worked hard to ensure we were comfortable and having a good time. We rode through town, saw the mountains, and stopped by a monastery on a fun 4-hour ride before returning to the owner's home to drop off the camels. While waiting for our captain to bring the boat to take us back to the hotel, the owner opened his home to show us his animals, and self-sufficient kitchen and farm after we drank mint tea on his patio. If you're an animal lover and want to experience Luxor in an entirely different way, I can't recommend this enough.

Highly recommend

The camels are well cared for. We did a one hour ride through a little village. We also took a motor boat to the stable since our hotel was on the other side of the river

Excelente experiencis

Kateina_K, Aug 2021

Nuestro paseo en camello fue muy agradable, los guias llevaron a los camellos por el campo y por el pueblo. Al principio nos dio un poco de miedo, son animales muy altos, pero poco a poco sentimos mas confianza. Fue una excelente experiencia.
