Overview
The classic photograph of the Giza pyramids, with all three in one frame, is taken from the desert plateau behind them. A camel is the traditional way to get there. This is a short, simple add-on rather than a full tour: one hour on the sand, out to the panoramic viewpoint and back. What it removes is the haggling. The camel is booked in advance at a fixed price with a handler we work with regularly, so there is no negotiation at the gate and no request for extra money halfway through the ride. Beginners are fine. The handler leads the animal on foot the whole way and helps you mount and dismount. Horses and horse-drawn carriages can be substituted on request.
