Explore the wealth of Luxor with a camel safari across the city's heart. Horses , Camels, and donkeys are the most customary animals of Egypt. Since thousands of years the camels have been chosen as the apposite mode of transport in this part of east, because it is the only animal which can go about in the dry desert without water or food for a long time. The camels found in Luxor are especially of two categories: the single humped and the double humped camels. The one humped camel is called the dromedary. In Luxor the dromedary is the mostly used species. Tourists love to sit back on the camel and merge with the beauties of the land. Camel riding is appropriate and entertaining for all ages. Especially the camel riding, on the West Bank. There is an animal stable called The Pharos Stable near the Amun hotel in West bank. They lease out camels and horses for 30 pounds an hour along with a guide who takes them on a ride around the most important attractions of Luxor While going to hire camel from a native of Luxor you will be astonished to find that renting out camels and horses are a family business of Haj Bakr, the owner of the camels. They own quite a few camels and horses. The tourists come to their stable , choose the animal, sit back and calm down with a cup of tea or coffee until the animal is made ready to move on. Camels are hot favourite with the tourists and the rides continue generally for a hour or two. Be a bit careful while the camel stands up, because it causes a severe jerk as a result of which you may fall down. Clasp the handle of the seat tightly before it takes off. A camel ride is very interesting especially for the first timers in Luxor.
