Look, up ahead, there they are!
The pyramids - the only remaining Wonder of the Ancient World.
Don't miss the turn,
But first you must stop at the stable owner's shop.
He owns an essential oil shop and insists you sit and enjoy tea while you listen to his sales pitch.
Then it's out to the camel.
Getting up and down is quite challenging.
The camels know the path well.

I still can't believe that's me in that picture.
(I'm the one fending of the sunburn with the hat and long sleeves.)
Our guide encouraged me to climb up a block or two for the photo op. Which my mom now tells me is illegal. Oops.
Such a face.
Today was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I will never forget it.

This is wonderful! I can't imagine actually riding a camel ... how totally cool!
WOW! Camel-back and all? Now that is definitely the LIFE! What a cool and exciting experience...
Magnificent!
Hi Liz - Katie C shared this with me. I just got back from Egypt and Jordan a month ago, and it is fun to relive it and see some different things too. We will have to compare experiences some time. Lynn Evans
Wow! This is just too cool to imagine. And you rode a camel! Look at you go. Thanks for taking us along. xo
Good for you for staying covered! We Norherners have to be careful. So, I guess you don't get to go into a pyramid?
A very traditional choice of transportation - I'm sure the pyramids look more impressive from camel-back! (I'm so jealous)
Liz on a camel. Who would have thought!
I'm green with envy...and so happy for you! My camel spit avoidance blessing must still be working eh?
