Not Giza plateau as pictured
Didn’t take me to Giza plateau as per the listing, took me to Kafr Nasser so there was a large fence in all the photos unlike the listing photo. Maybe it’s because I went solo. The guide started asking me if I wanted to go back 20 minutes in. Also will take you to a spice restaurant where they will coerce you into buying hibiscus leaves for 20 Egyptian pounds per gram (over priced).
Response from the operator: First thanks for your review 1) Your pick up time should be 6 am and you delayed more than 1:45 so we start 7:45 am not 6 am and our tour guide and the camel man they give you all the happy and love 2) for sure the camel ride outside the area if you wanna inside you should have your ticket and you refused 3) to go to the desert and back again it almost more than one hour so how 20 mins 4) you spend more than one hour and half because you take thousand of pictures and check your Instagram to see how many pictures and very nice one 5) you never buy any hibiscus and you asked to drink 2 cup for free 6) please be honest and welcome to Egypt any time

The most magical experiences in Egypt!
The camel ride at sunset was everything I hoped for and more. The desert looked golden, the pyramids majestic, and the entire moment felt unreal. Hany was funny and took care of us so well. The camels were adorable and calm, and we got the most beautiful photos. It was safe, organized, and breathtaking from start to finish.

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever done
We chose sunset, and it was perfect, the sky looked like a painting! The guide Hany was professional, making sure we were safe and happy. The camels were gentle, and I loved every second of it. Watching the pyramids glow as the sun set behind them was something I’ll never forget.

The sunrise camel ride around Giza was simply unforgettable
As the sun came up, the entire landscape glowed in shades of orange and gold. It felt peaceful yet thrilling. The guide was excellent, always checking that we were comfortable and taking great photos of us. The camels were calm and well-cared for, which made the experience even better. If you love photography or adventure, this is an absolute must do!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Camel Ride around the Pyramids at Sunrise or Sunset Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Giza Pyramids all inclusive,Sphinx,lunch,Camel,insid pyramid. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
