You’ll begin your adventure by meeting your experienced guide from Cairo Top Tours in your hotel lobby, where he will introduce himself and your personal driver. Together, you’ll head to the Birqash Camel Market in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The market is located about 60 kilometers from Cairo, and you'll be picked up early to experience the market during its busiest hours.
This is one of the largest camel meat markets in both Africa and Egypt's history. Camels are periodically gathered along the historic Darb al-Arba'in, a 40-day caravan route leading from Sudan to Birqash. These camels are imported from Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia, and then transported to the market via large trucks after passing through several oases.
After enjoying one of Cairo's most recommended tours—the visit to the Birqash Camel Market—you’ll be taken back to your hotel, filled with memories of this unique experience.
