This desert safari combining the Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, and camel riding sounds like an incredible adventure in Egypt!

Visiting the Step Pyramid on camelback and having lunch in the desert is a unique way to experience Egypt’s rich culture and history

I’m still laughing at how scared I was of the camel until we started moving. His name was Habibi and he was a prince 🐪 We kicked off the day in Alexandria and breezed to Cairo in a slick ride that had Wi-Fi – bless. Giza’s pyramids were majestic, but Saqqara was unexpectedly spiritual. It was like the desert had a story to whisper. The safari ride gave us just enough thrill before we settled down for the coziest desert meal I’ve ever had. I didn’t know you could eat that well on sand!

Let me tell y’all, this wasn’t just a tour, it was an experience. The moment we hit the desert outside Saqqara, it felt like we stepped into another world. The camel ride was surprisingly smooth, and the view of the Step Pyramid from that angle? Chef’s kiss. Giza was of course massive and iconic, but the quiet grandeur of Saqqara was more intimate. Lunch was set in a shaded oasis setup – delicious, filling, and photogenic as heck 📸

✨ If you’ve never seen a pyramid from a camel’s perspective, you’re doing Egypt wrong. ✨ Giza was impressive, no doubt, but Saqqara hit different. It’s raw, ancient, and honestly kind of mystical. Riding a camel out there with nothing but golden sand and wind was a memory I won’t shut up about anytime soon. The trip was seamless – comfy ride, good timing, and the guides were like walking encyclopedias. And oh, that desert lunch… gourmet under the sun. I wish I could bottle the whole vibe and take it home.

Every now and then, a trip just sticks. This one? Sticky like the desert sand in my boots – but in a good way. The drive to Cairo from Alexandria flew by thanks to a funny and informative guide. Giza’s pyramids were as majestic as expected, but Saqqara had a kind of ghostly magic. Riding a camel in the open desert beside the Step Pyramid made me feel small in the best way. Lunch wasn’t rushed – it was delicious, fresh, and had us feeling totally spoiled.

My boots are still dusty and my heart’s still full. The Giza Pyramids were gorgeous, but I really vibed with the desert energy at Saqqara. The safari was a blast – bumping over dunes and blasting Arabic pop music made the whole jeep feel like a party on wheels. When we got to the camels, I was nervous, but mine – “Sultan” – was chill as heck. And the pyramid? You could feel how ancient it was. Lunch was set up like a Bedouin lounge, with carpets and all. I didn’t want to leave 🐪

Never thought I’d see pyramids, ride camels, and eat grilled kofta all in the same day. We left from Alexandria and had a solid drive to Cairo – not too long, just long enough to swap playlists with the guide 😄 The pyramids at Giza were the highlight I expected, but Saqqara was the surprise win. It’s quieter, older, and riding a camel beside that step structure? Pretty unforgettable. They even let me take a turn steering the camel (spoiler: it didn’t go well). The lunch had real depth – not just snacks, but real, hearty food.
Luanne Belle Carter –
Okay but who knew lunch in the desert could feel this classy? 🌞 We started early from Alexandria and hit the Giza Pyramids before the crowds. That part was magical – but what really got me was Saqqara. The Step Pyramid stood tall like it had been waiting for me. And I rode a camel like a total desert diva. The safari jeeps gave the whole thing an off-road thrill, and somehow, we had iced drinks waiting with our meal in the middle of nowhere. Somebody explain how they do that.
Darryl Lynn Whitmore –
From ancient marvels to desert laughs, this journey had it all. The ride from Alexandria to Cairo was smooth as butter – modern, air-conditioned, and gave us time to soak in the views. The Giza Pyramids were surreal, but it was Saqqara where things got spicy. Picture this: you’re bouncing on a camel, sand blowing in your face, staring at the first-ever pyramid in human history. If Indiana Jones had a luxury edition, this would be it. Lunch in the desert wasn’t just a meal – it was a vibe.
Maybelle Tucker –
This was one of those trips that hit the history AND the adrenaline notes just right. The Giza Pyramids were stunning, obviously, but nothing prepared me for the thrill of a desert safari. Our SUV danced over the dunes like it had something to prove 😄 After that wild ride, we headed to Saqqara where I got to ride a camel (named Elvis!) past the Step Pyramid. The whole place felt like a history book exploded – but in the coolest way. We ended with a chill lunch that somehow felt five stars even though we were sitting in the sand. Wildly memorable day.
Billy Joe Hargrove –
Riding a camel next to the Saqqara Step Pyramid felt like teleporting into a documentary I didn’t know I needed 🌵 We kicked things off with a ride from Alexandria to Giza in a super comfy vehicle – not the bumpy mess I feared – and seeing the Giza Pyramids up close had my jaw swinging like a barn door. But the real winner was heading out into the Saqqara desert. Riding camels under the Egyptian sun made us feel like sassy Bedouin explorers. The lunch in the sand dunes? Honestly fancy. I ate grilled chicken like a desert prince while staring at a 4,700-year-old pyramid. What even is life.
