A Journey into the Heart of Egyptian Tradition
Step beyond the usual tourist trail and into a world where tradition and culture come alive — welcome to the Birqash Camel Market Adventure. This isn’t just a tour — it’s a deep dive into the authentic soul of Egypt.
Located just outside Cairo, the Birqash Camel Market is the largest of its kind in Egypt, and visiting it is like stepping into a living, breathing cultural tapestry. Here, camels from across North and East Africa — including Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Morocco — are brought together in a vibrant display of color, sound, and tradition.
The market is at its liveliest between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, especially on Fridays and Sundays, when the trading reaches its peak. These are the best days to witness the energy, negotiation, and excitement of camel dealing at full throttle.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
