    Itinerary

    Enjoy a short drive from your located Aswan hotel oe Nile cruise to the camel market. The village of Darau is known for its Camel market. The camel has a special place in the Bedouin and Nubian cultures'


    In the outskirts of Aswan, , the weekly Darau camel market comes to life as vendors and buyers are gathering here making deals and auctions for camels. The market here is pure chaos, with thousands of camels rattling in their rusty pens, men from all over hoisting their purchases into the back of their pick-up trucks, and the screams of animals mixed with sand, heat, and smell!


    Historically, camels (specifically the Arabian camels or "one-hump" camels) were the main source of transport in Arabia. Now, being far more technologically advanced, Egyptian Bedouins and Arabs value the camel, both for its place in the country's cultural past. Most of the camels purchased at the Darau market are destined for the slaughterhouse, as camel meat is a prized delicacy.
