Camel ride in the Agafay desert
Along the ridge above the canyons, at the hour when the plateau turns ochre. Slower and quieter than people expect, and that is the whole point.
What it is
The route follows the ridge above the canyons rather than the flat ground, and that is what gives it the view. A handler leads the animal on foot: you steer nothing, which is what makes it work for people who have never been near a camel.
It lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Two things nobody mentions beforehand. It is slower and quieter than you expect, and the silence is the reason people remember it. And the hour matters far more than the route.

When to go
Take it in the hour before sunset, when the plateau turns ochre and the canyons fill with shadow. At two in the afternoon the same ride is flat and white, and you will wonder what the fuss was about. First light works too, and is colder and emptier.
