Most camels are from Sudan and Somalia and have arrived in Egypt through Abu Simbel in the south. Those that aren’t sold there are taken to Birqash, a small village. The camel market is not for the faint of heart – these animals are not treated like beloved pets.
After visiting the market, transfer back to Cairo.
