Camel
Trekking or Horse Riding |
 |
| Though
the city abuts the Great Pyramids of

desert waiting for you on the other side.
And there is NO better way to experience
that desert and see the Pyramids as they
should (must!) be seen, than by doing it
the way it's been done for millennia. Leave
the car or bus behind you and venture forth
on a horse or a camel for a 2-hour trek
into ancient history.
You
can organize a trek as part of
a day trip to
Giza, Sakkara, and Memphis. Or, if you wish,
you can organize it as a separate excursion. |
