Tour Itinerary
In the morning pick up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer Birkash to the Camel Market, 35 km northwest of Cairo. It is Egypt's largest camel market, located on the edge of the Western Desert, and makes a wild contrast to the city life of Cairo. The market displays hundreds of camels; those have been driven across the shifting sands from Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Aswan only for them to end up hauling at the pyramids or swinging by the hooves in a slaughterhouse.
After visiting the market, transfer back to Cairo.
