Your knowledgeable tour guide from Cairo Top Tours will greet you in the hotel lobby, introduce themselves and your private driver, and escort you to the bustling Birqash Camel Market. Traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, you’ll embark on your Cairo day tour just 60 kilometers outside the city. Departing early in the morning, you'll arrive in time to witness the market at its liveliest.
Birqash is home to one of Africa’s largest camel markets, rich in history and tradition. Camels are transported along the ancient Darb al-Arba'in route—a historic 40-day caravan trail that stretches from Sudan to Birqash. These animals are sourced from regions like Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia, journeying across southern Egypt and through various oases before finally reaching the market in large trucks.
After soaking in the sights and energy of this vibrant market, you'll be driven back to your hotel, having enjoyed one of Cairo's most unique and immersive day tours.
