Private Sunrise Camel Ride at the Giza Pyramids

You leave your hotel before dawn, while Cairo is still quiet, and reach the desert behind Giza as the sky starts to turn. A camel is waiting. You ride out along the sand ridge with the three pyramids on the horizon and watch the sun come up over them, the light shifting from grey to gold in a few minutes. Your guide handles the photos, and there is no crowd at this hour, just you, the camel handler, and the desert. Honest note: this ride takes in the pyramids from the open desert rather than right at their base, which is exactly why it stays peaceful. The pickup is private and round-trip from any Cairo hotel. Ideal for early risers and photographers who want Giza without the daytime crush.
