Traveler reviews
Too bad it was not Auction day.
We wanted to go to a camel auction. Unfortunatlaty the day we went it was closed. Thier were several camels there but bassically it was not open. Would have been better on auction day.
Camel market Cairo
A visit that felt like going back in time. Almost biblical. But the treatment of animals was shocking. We went with a guide and it was recommended as a glimpse of authentic Egyptian culture. This market is huge with hundreds of animals. It is chaotic. Loud. Overwhelming. I’ve see. Nothing like it. But it was the treatment of the animals that was shocking. It was brutal. I am sure they are stubborn beasts but the treatment I saw was shocking and unnecessary. Animal welfare is clearly not a priority. I would think carefully before going here and I certainly wouldn’t take children.
A dream trip
Karim is the best guide there is, he made us the wonderful journey and the story in the way he explains it is so easy to understand that it stays recorded. I'll go back to Egypt and we'll find Karim again. PS: in addition to being a guide, he is the best photographer, we take many memories of this trip.
