My family and I had the pleasure of being guided and taken on a camel ride around the pyramids with Mostafa and his brother. They provided four camels for four members of my family. Both were very friendly and funny. With so many vendors around, our pyramid guide recommended Mostafa. Right away he made us feel at ease. He provide ample information and let us enjoy the ride and views without rushing us. Both his brother and he were great with my kids and helped take numerous photos. Simply put they were great. I fully recommend taking a camel ride or any other activities with them. Big thumbs up!

Mostafa was fantastic! A sweet, smart, funny, and kind person who truly made this experience special. We felt safe and prepared on the camels. He took great photos and was such so friendly. No issues with money. Highly recommend!

I found Mostafas sunrise camel tour when looking for day trips to Cairo. After reading the reviews I knew this was the only pyramid camel tour I wanted to do on my day trip to Cairo. We spent ages trying to see how we could incorporate it into an existing day trip with a visit to the museum. As two young woman travelling with a child we were unhappy to travel around Cairo ourselves so decided to contact Mostafa to see if he could organise something for us. From the moment we got in touch with him he was wonderful. So kind and very accommodating. He organised a driver that picked us up at the airport and stayed with us during the day. We met Mostafa and went for the camel ride to see the pyramids at sunrise. Unfortunately, it was misty, so we didn't get to see them at this point, but that didn't detract from the day.
We had been on a different Camel ride earlier in the week and after this I had been concerned about spending so much time on a Camel, however Mostafa's Camels are very well-loved and looked after. Mickey and Casenova are Mostafa's priority and I would urge anyone looking at booking a camel ride to book with Mustafa (or another operator with high welfare standards). My 5 year old son was also very weary of the Camels after our previous experience and asked if he could walk with Mostafa instead, again he was so reassuring and kind to my son, holding his hand whilst guiding the Camels.
After the sunrise ride we met Mostafa at the pyramids and got some lovely photos and had a horse ride from a friend of his. My 5 year old was very taken with Mostafa and the photos he took, loving the ideas Mostafa had. We then took the long ride up on Mickey and Casenova to a beautiful restaurant in which Mostafa had made a reservation for us, overlooking the 9 pyramids. My son was completely reassured at this point and managed the whole trip, feeling very secure riding Casenova. Breakfast was some of the best food we had in Egypt. We then went to the Sphinx with Mostafa. Then onto the museum with the driver. We also felt very comfortable and safe with Nabil. All round we had a fantastic day thanks to Mostafa. You are a wonderful person Mostafa, thank you! We are so glad to have met you and call you a friend.

My friend and I went on a camel ride with Fox and his camels Casanova and Mickey! It was an amazing experience riding past the pyramids and the Sphinx! The desert, was spectacular! And the pyramids even more stunning! Thanks to the BEST guide Fox, for such an amazing experience. He knew the best spots for pictures and was very friendly! Thoroughly enjoyed this experience! Will definitely recommend Fox! ❤️

At the end of a very stressful tour through Cairo with our guide, we ended the day at the Pyramids of Giza. Actually, I didn't want to go on a camel ride tour at all, because I think the way many camel drivers treat the camels is absolutely cruel to animals. However, our Cairo tour guide introduced Mostafa to my mother and me. As soon as we met him, I realised that something was different here. He had a confident, calm and relaxed demeanour right from the start. He calmly explained to us everything we needed to know when dealing with camels and how to behave accordingly.
One of the many wonderful features of Mostafa is that he does NOT use a whip or crop. This means that the communication between him and his camels is based on energy, calmness and self-confidence, and maybe a little slap on the butt if necessary ;-)
Mostafa had funny and Instagrammable photo ideas during the tour, which he also did a great job of.
He answered all my many many questions and explained them in detail.
On the way back, he suddenly stopped and asked us to take off our hats and sunglasses in the last minutes of the tour. He also asked to close our eyes or leave them open, sit relaxed in the saddle and told us to completely empty our minds in the last minutes of the tour, to forget the stress of everyday life, our worries and other things and just let negative energy flow from us. In my whole life I have never felt so relaxed and at peace with myself as I did in those minutes, for a long time! As I write this, I actually have to shed a few tears.
At the end of the tour, while we were still calm, he asked us to make a wish before we get off of the camels.
And then the hour was already over :-(
It went so incredibly fast, but in return it was incredibly great!
Conclusion:
Mostafa made our Cairo city trip extra special!
We were already so stressed from the hectic trip through Cairo that I am so grateful to Mostafa for sending us this wonderful moment!
Thank you Mostafa! Stay the way you are and please stay healthy!

Mostafa is such a gracious, professional and passionate host! He welcomed us to the Pyramids and gave us an experience we will never forget. He is a great teacher and taught us how to ride the camels safely by ourselves within minutes! We were the only tourists riding by ourselves. Mostafa helped create a memorable experience and we are extremely grateful to have been guided to him. Not only is he a camel guide, he is also a genius photographer and will capture moments that he can only create for your memories. There are many camel guides at the pyramids, but be sure to ask for only Mostafa. You will not be disappointed!!!! Mostafa, thank you for warmly welcoming us to Egypt!!! We will be back to see you very soon.

It was a dream come true!
Riding the camel beside the pyramids was one of the best experiences I’ve ever done in my life!
Mustafa, was the best guide who took us in the camel and sent us to the most beautiful place where you can see all the pyramids together and took the most beautiful pictures of my trip.
It was the most special day for me too, because i got engaged at the most romantic place in the world.
Mustafa was the one who organized everything for me, helped me with everything and it went perfectly.
I cant thank him enough for making my day the most beautiful ever!
Mustafa is very very friendly, funny, one of the nicest guys I’ve met in Egypt, and from now on, one of my friends in Cairo.
Hes so welcoming, helpful and nice, you’ll love his trip with camel and you’ll be satisfied with the view and the hospitality of Mustafa!
