Yes, you can take a camel ride during a Giza Pyramids tour. Camel rides are a popular and iconic activity for visitors to the Giza Plateau, offering a unique perspective on the pyramids and the desert landscape. Here are some things to consider:
- Camel Ride Duration: Camel rides at the Giza Pyramids are typically offered for various durations, ranging from short rides of 15–30 minutes to longer rides of 1 hour or more. The duration of the ride can impact the overall experience and the areas you'll be able to explore.
- Guided Rides: Camel rides are usually guided by experienced handlers who lead the camels and ensure the safety of the riders. It's important to follow the instructions of the handlers for a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Viewpoints: Camel rides often include stops at viewpoints where you can take in breathtaking panoramic views of the pyramids and the surrounding desert. These stops provide excellent photo opportunities.
- Cost: The cost of camel rides can vary based on the duration and negotiation skills. Be prepared to negotiate the price with the camel handlers. It's a good idea to have small denominations of Egyptian currency for payment.
- Safety and Comfort: While camel rides can be a memorable experience, it's essential to prioritize safety and comfort. Wear comfortable clothing and footwear, and consider bringing a small cushion or pad for added comfort during the ride.
- Camel Interaction: If you're interested in getting close to the camels and taking photos with them, ask your guide or handler if it's allowed. Some camels may be friendly and approachable.
- Tipping: Tipping the camel handlers is customary, so budget accordingly. A small gratuity is appreciated for their assistance and guidance.
- Timing: Consider the time of day when you plan your camel ride. Early morning or late afternoon rides can be more comfortable, as the sun is less intense.

- Camel Care: Show concern for the welfare of the camels. Make sure they are well cared for and not overburdened.
