Here is a video I took while riding the camels on the Giza plateau on Friday. It's a pretty shaky video because the camels were running at this point, making the ride even more exciting since I was holding my camera in one hand and holding on for dear life with the other hand all the while bouncing in and out of the saddle.
Needless to say, I was sore the day after the camel ride, but it was so much fun.
Paying for just about anything in Egypt is an experience. We of course had to tip our camel guide at the end of the trip, but then the camel guide's "brother," who we had never seen before until he randomly appeared at the end of the trip, expected to get paid for doing nothing...the "brother" didn't get any money from us. Nearly everyone who gets paid something has a so-called brother who also expects to get paid.
Have a good Tuesday!
