      Pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by tour guide to start your tour . Egypt’s largest camel market is held at Birqash (pronounced Bir’ash), a small village 35km northwest of Cairo, just on the edge of the Delta’s cultivated land. It's not for the faint of heart – many traders treat the camels with intense cruelty – but it's a very local experience. Hundreds of camels are sold here every market day, with the liveliest action between 7am and 10am. Tour Finishes with drop off at Customer Hotel in Cairo or Giza

      Amazing and fun day!
      My family and I had a great time on this tour. Our driver, Ahmad, and our tour leader, Hamad, were both great. The resort was lovely with a beautiful beach. There are rocks on the beach but in the water the bottom is sandy. The water was gorgeous and very clear. The buffet lunch was great as well. Good selection and great kofta. Our tour leader stayed with us the whole time and even watched our belongings when we went in the water. Couldn't have asked for better service or a better experience! We also saw dolphins while we were swimming. I definitely recommend this to anyone travelling to Cairo! Only about 1.5 hours drive from our hotel in Cairo, so it is a perfect day trip.

      Great show and tastes
      The agency is so professional.. Our guide picked us up from the hotel right on schedule... The drive to the Nile was so beautiful and they kept us great company on the way there. Upon arrival our guide really made his best to explain everything and be with us in case we needed anything. The staff on the boat was so serving and kind and the food was tasty.. However, keep in mind that because it's buffet and there is a big waiting line your goal should not be to go there empty stomach and expect to feel full.. So go mostly to try local tastes and enjoy your drinks ( they serve alcohol as well) and the beautiful shows... The three shows were beautiful, we had a great time in all of them

      Nile River experience on Felucca and lunch
      Awesome private felucca boat tour. Samy was so much fun, played great music, and very accommodating. He was like a friend more than a tour guide! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing Nile River experience

      I booked three solo trips with Emo Tour Egypt. My tour guide was Hakim, and the drivers were amazing. They did a great job and treated me like family. I enjoyed my visit to Egypt and would definitely book with Emo Tour again for my next visit.

      A spectacular day.
      It was a spectacular day. The tour was well structured, and our guide, Khalaf Wael, was simply spectacular. A young man with a lot of knowledge, well-founded in his answers, friendly and always concerned about our well-being, very professional. The driver was also extremely safe and friendly.

      Insightful, Attentive, and Memorable
      We had an amazing tour of the Giza Pyramids with Samy. He was incredibly kind and helpful, especially with my father who had some mobility issues. Samy assisted with negotiating the carriage price (1000 Egyptian pounds) and took fantastic photos of us. He expertly explained the history of the three pyramids and the Step Pyramid of Djoser. His patience, attentiveness, and great ideas for photos made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Samy for anyone visiting the pyramids! Thank you, Samy!

      Wow, what a trip we had!
      I just got back from a 4 night 4 days trip in Egypt, Cairo. I led a group form the UK to go Umrah stopping on the way back in Cairo, what an amazing few days! We were met and greeted at the airport, luggage dealt with without any going missing, checked in smoothly and started the next day our program, it was intense, we went to the Pyramids, our guide – I found a friend in him- Syyed Mahmoud was the icing of the cake, professional and silver tong! He briefed us proper and went though do/don’t list which the group found really beneficial and made us face less inconvenience and utilized the time to the best, practical recommendation, where to go and what to expect as the local sales people can be demanding and a bit of a challenge. Sayyed was well informed and spoke fluent English, he was well connected every where we went, recommended places to visit and when according to traffic and that allowed us to maximize our time there, we were never rushed when we visited places, even on our free day Sayyed went the extra mile and kept our company! always smiling and engaged the group very well. I learned a lot, laughed a lot indeed eat a lot ! I also love the fact we were with one guide throughout the entire period apart from one area outside Cairo we had another professional guide – Noor El Dein Mohamed- yet another amazing guide with 5 languages. EMO is a professional service provider, having had 18 years hospitality experience and 7 in travel industry, I have no problem recommending EMO with confidence. Thank Sayyed Mahmoud, the trip wouldn’t have been the same without you.

      Dinner on the Nile
      Our guide picked us up and we were driven to the boat where we were booked in for dinner and a show while cruising the Nile river. It was a full moon and first day in Cairo which made it special. The food was very good and the shows were also good. Our two daughters (10 & 8) were with us and they loved it. If ever in Egypt I’d highly recommend booking the tour and taking part in the experience.

    I strongly recommend this tour to everyone!!! It’s such an unusual, unique and truly unbelievable experience!!!

    The guide, Ayman, took really good care of me and explained me everything about the market. He was my personal bodyguard along with the driver, I felt super safe. It’s really good to have him and the driver with you at all times, the market is truly crazy with camels running around everywhere.

    Again, I’m so glad I did this and got to see how camels are being bought. Worth it!!!!!
