AMAZING! - OMG!!! Just book it! My travel partner and I booked with Mostafa many months prior to our trip. He was easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions, and even reassured us when we were nervous! He designed a top notch, custom itinerary for us. Our professional Egyptologist guide Nesreena (Nana!) reached out several days early as well. Our driver and Nana picked us up at the Hilton right on time, we went to the pyramids of Giza and learned all about it. Then we met Mostafa for our camel ride. AMAZING! He and the camel driver took us on a long ride way out into the desert. He was so patient and kind... reassured us as we were nervous! We took our time, they took amazing photos and some fun videos. We never felt rushed. My camel's name was Valentino and my friend's was Michael Jordan. So fun! Beautiful animals. We heard more history and answered all our questions. We eventually headed back and met Nana and our driver again. Nana asked what souvenirs we still needed and made a suggestion and took us to an amazing shop where we had custom bracelets made for my two sons with a cartouche with their names. It was the perfect idea!! The shop also had beautiful jewelry so I purchased a pair of earrings for myself. We went to the GEM museum and continued our tour. Eventually went for a delicious lunch at a local eatery to end the day. The following day we had the same driver and professional guide. We went to Memphis and Saqqara. Did more shopping and went to the carpet school and the supermarket.... neither were on the itinerary but added bonuses! We had another delicious lunch of local food. We couldn't be happier and would recommend booking with this company for any type of tour you may desire. Top notch all around!

An unforgettable experience with THE best guide! - We booked this tour after reading lots of helpful reviews on Tripadvisor so it only seems fair to write about our own experience. This is an unforgettable, life-enhancing tour from beginning to end… and beyond! Mostafa was very helpful and warm communicating with us for many months before our arrival. He made sure our driver arrived on time (and waited as we were a bit late) and guided us rhrough the process of buying site tickets and clearing security. He could meet us on the other side and it’s clear he knows the pyramids and all the guides and staff extremely well. His English is excellent and he knows how to relate the history and mysteries of the pyramids in the most compelling way. Our 9 year old sons were hooked! At the same time, he could also answer my husband’s detailed history questions and my questions about tourism and contemporary events. The camels seem very happy and healthy and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. It’s quite a different feeling to be up that high and seeing the view as it must have been for thousands of years. You can’t quite believe how magical the experience is! Getting so close to the pyramids and seeing how the light shifts with wind, sun and scattered clouds is not something we will forget soon. One of our sons was quite afraid of being so high up while the other was quite giddy with excitement and Mostafa and his team managed both superbly. You get used to the feeling of riding a camel within a few minutes. We never felt rushed and Mostafa answered all our questions with interest and warmth and took some amazing photos of us and for us. We’ll be printing and framing them for sure. He went above and beyond for our family — arranging for us to keep the driver for the day and even sorting out our plans when language was a barrier… even after the tour was over! You feel he cares deeply for the pyramids, for the incredible history of this special place and to do whatever it takes to give his clients the best and most memorable experience of their lives. We all can’t wait to come back to do it all over again! Don’t hesitate to book with Pyramids Camel Ride… we could see the other tour companies and they aren’t the same quality. Mostafa goes above and beyond for his clients and if you want the best experience it’s worth choosing someone so professional, kind and knowledgeable. We didn’t price compare but it was well within the range of prices we’ve seen and we felt safe and cared for throughout. Trust the excellent reviews — I’m glad we did!

Book with Mostafa - Mostafa runs a great business here. His camels are well looked after and he and his cameleer Amr took amazing photos. His driver Ahab was incredible; picked us up from our hotel and then took us to several other tourist sites after, stopped at a restaurant that accommodated my dietary restrictions and finally took us to the airport. We had a great day from sunrise to sunset due to this company.

Best day!! - I would give this tour one million stars if I could. This was without a doubt one of the most amazing days of my life!! Our tour guide was Nesreen and she's the best!! So intelligent, knowledgeable, and friendly! We started off by visiting Memphis which was very interesting. It's set up like an open air museum and a lot of the artifacts were found in their exact spot or very close by. The artifacts themselves were amazing and it was even better to have our tour guide explain everything to us. Next we went to Sakkara where we saw the step pyramid and the first building made of stones! We also went inside a burial tomb which was very cool! Then, Nesreen took us to a carpet school where we saw how handmade carpets are made in Egypt. It was incredible to see and the carpets are gorgeous. We ended up buying a couple of them. They are quite expensive but they seem worth the price and unlike anything you can find elsewhere. We also went to a papyrus store where they showed us how papyrus paper is made. They had really nice paintings in there. Finally we went to the great pyramids which was the best part. We saw the great pyramid up close and took some pictures first and then we went on a camel ride around the pyramids. We went to a panoramic spot where you can see all of the pyramids at the same time to take some more pictures. The last thing we did was go see the Sphinx. Mustafa organized the trip and we met him when we went on the camels. He was very nice and booking the trip with him was an easy, streamlined process. Our driver Hamdi was also great and very nice. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Cairo/Giza. It was a very full day but I feel like I saw everything I wanted to see and more!

A perfect and HIGHLY recommend experience! - A perfect experience from pick up yo drop off - our guide Mustafa was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel completely comfortable with these beautiful animals. You can tell they are well cared for. Mustafa also knows the perfect spots for photos and got us a great collection! There are a lot of tours out there, I'm so glad we found this one! Highly recommend, would give 10 starts if I could.

The BEST Camel tour and guide! - Everything was perfect from pick-up to drop-off! I highly recommend our guide Mustafa who was not only knowledgeable but made us feel completely comfortable. The camels are beautiful and you can tell they are well cared for. Mustafa also knows the BEST spots for pictures and got us magnificent shots! You pay for park entry plus any add ons like entering the Kufu Pyramid, then for your camel ride and that's it, no surprises. There are a lot of tours out there, but I can tell you Mustafa is an honest and reputable guide. I'd give 10 stars if I could -

Amazing Camel ride around the pyramids! - What an amazing experience! Mustafa is a top-class guy, who helped to make the experience so much more enjoyable. I wanted to make sure to choose an experience where the animals are treated fairly, and the guide is also knowledgeable. The two camels, Casanova and Valentino, are adorable and well taken care of. I was able to see the close relationship between the handler and the camels and can ensure no whips or anything of the sort are used. Mustafa was very knowledgeable on providing information about the pyramids. He is also a great photographer and captured many great pictures and videos of us. During the visit you well get to see all 9 pyramids and a quick stop by the Sphynx on the way out. If you wish to visit the Sphynx for longer or in more detail, another excursion/guide will be required. This is not a complaint, just information for future visitors: You will need to purchase entry tickets to the pyramids for the individuals who are going on the tour. You will also need to purchase an entry ticket for the vehicle which drops you off (~ £1). The driver collected us from our air bnb in a nice vehicle and dropped us back off at the end of the guide. Don't hesitate and book your tour with Mustafa! You won't regret it!

Professional and friendly camel ride. Private group. 100% recommend!! - 100% recommend Mustafa and the Pyramid Camel tour. Highlight of our trip to Egypt! We went as a family, excellent and immediate communication after booking. Mustafa arranged a pick up from our hotel which took us to his location inside the Giza complex. You need to buy Giza entrance tickets (that is standard and you can buy online or at the entrance). He met us with huge smiles, learnt the family names and we each rode a lovely camel. The tour took us round the back of the pyramids so we could also see the sphyinx, across the desert up to the view point where you can see all 9 pyramids that make up Giza. Mustafa let our children steer the camels, it was safe, incredibly fun. He also gave us some information about the pyramids and took loads of photos with our phones. I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was our highlight of our holiday and this was a professionally run, friendly tour operator with no add ons, he kept the people trying to see stuff tourists away from us. 100% recommend. Just book it. Worth every penny.

Camel ride through the pyramids! - Taking this camel ride through the pyramids is sensational. The camels are well looked after and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend it.

Best and most conscionable camel ride in Giza - To anyone looking for a camel ride to the Giza pyramids, book this one. The treatment of animals can be questionable but Mostafa's camel, Valentino, is so well looked after and thus, gentle and content. Gorgeous camel, really. Mostafa is an excellent guide with a deep soul. A great person to connect with and I'm delighted and grateful to have met both him and Valentino. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life and I shall never forget it or them. Do yourself a favour and book this. You won't regret it. Oh and tip well. They deserve it
