Sunrise Camel Ride at the Pyramids
The Pyramid plateau before the crowds, heat, and tour buses arrive.
Time in the saddle on soft sand, including mounting and dismounting a kneeling camel. Long trousers and closed shoes make it far more comfortable than shorts and sandals.
About this tour
An early hotel pickup for a sunrise camel ride across the Giza plateau, well before the site opens to general visitors — the clearest, quietest light the Pyramids get all day, and the best chance at photos without a crowd in frame.
