This had to be one of the most incredible things I have ever done and while very frightening, it was awesome! All I had to hold on to was a stump. Getting on the camel, I had to have help. My foot got stuck and I thought for sure my leg was going to come off. I don't think I stretched like that in a very long time!! I looked for a seat beat but there wasn't any. They gave me no direction on how to hold on. The camel walked over very rough rocks and earth and for a while, I thought I was a real goner!! The muscles on my arms felt like they were burning. I couldn't really enjoy the totally ride because I was looking down a lot, hoping I wouldn't fall. The kids kept yelling to me to hold on and that I'd be OK. Sure, it was good for them to talk about it. They were doing great on their camel. Even little Rialey was guiding his camel with ease.
Finally when we reached the area where we could get pictures of the 3 pyramids, I was getting use to actually riding my camel. Layla's camel tried to bite her and Rialey had the smaller camel and he really enjoyed it.
Truly it was so surreal and of all the places we saw, this had to be one of our top best and we recommend if you ever get the chance to ride a camel, then DO IT!! It is really fun. take the chance and live life to its fullest!
I rode a camel in the streets around the pyramids.. BUT rode a horse around the pyramids .. much more comftable :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. I like to try that another time. I didn't know how to sit or hold on to the camel and had to hold with all my strength to stay on him. But I'm glad I experienced it. I really appreciate your feedback. Good to see how others view a camel ride.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you rode on the streets!? WOW,it is crazy traffic out there and you survived to tell me about it. Congrats to you Heather. I don't think I'd be that brave. Maybe I would do around the pyramids but not the streets. I have pics of cars driving towards us in the wrong lane.
