An unforgettable tour of the pyramids and camel ride! - Great tour of the pyramids, with an unforgettable camel ride! Ahmed was a great guide and gave us very good history and context of the pyramids as we did our tour. We stopped at each of the pyramids and the Sphinx. Very imposing and humbling structures! The camel ride was awesome too. Got lots of great photos and memories to let a lifetime. Thanks for the great time (and once again Heba our awesome trip planner who helped us set this up !!)
