Featured Photo: Camel at the Giza Pyramids, Egypt

Camel drivers gather on the Giza Plateau outside Cairo, offering rides to tourists through the Saharan sands, with the Pyramids in the background. It’s touristy but worth the experience. I was in Egypt this past April managing a tour for Smithsonian Journeys and arranged the camel ride at the Pyramids as a special treat for my group on our last day.
