Tour Plan
Pickup At 8:00 AM from your hotel in Aswan By they Start your tour visiting Daraw has one of the largest camel markets in Egypt. Most of the camels come in caravans from Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan along the Darb Al Arba’een (Forty Days Rd) to just north of Abu Simbel before being trucked to Daraw. It is a picturesque sight and fascinating to see the trading; sometimes there are as many as 2000 camels.
Camels are sold here every day of the week, but the main days are Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Here they spend two days in quarantine before being sold by their Sudanese owners. Most go on to the camel market in Birqash, about 35km northwest of Cairo, where they are either sold to Egyptian farmers, exported to neighbouring countries or slaughtered for meat. This is no place for the squeamish.

I recently went on the Daraw Camel Market Day Tour in Aswan and it was such a fascinating experience! The market is bustling and gives you a real sense of local culture. Watching the traders haggle over camels was something you don’t see every day, and our guide made it easy to understand the history behind it all. It’s a bit chaotic, but that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path and truly authentic, I’d highly recommend this tour. Just be prepared for the dust and noise—it’s a real working market!

I recently took the Daraw Camel Market Day Tour in Aswan , and it was an incredible experience! The market was bustling with energy, filled with locals and visitors alike. Seeing the camels up close was a highlight, and I loved watching the traders negotiate and showcase their animals.
Our guide was fantastic, providing insights into the culture and significance of the market. The vibrant atmosphere and the variety of goods, from spices to textiles, made it a feast for the senses.
We also had the opportunity to sample some delicious local snacks, which added to the experience. Overall, this tour was a unique way to immerse myself in local life and traditions. If you’re in Aswan, I highly recommend it for an authentic cultural experience!
