No More Camel or Horse Rides at the Pyramids of Giza!

One of Egypt’s most iconic tourist experiences is getting a major update. Camel and horse rides have officially been stopped around the Pyramids of Giza. Instead, visitors will now explore the site using electric buses and carts as part of a new plan focused on improving animal welfare.

Why the Change?

For years, animal welfare groups have raised concerns about the conditions many working camels and horses face, including long hours, exhaustion, and mistreatment. The new system aims to give visitors a smoother way to get around while protecting the animals that were once used for rides.

A Move Towards Ethical Tourism

The change is also part of a wider shift towards ethical tourism, which encourages travelers to enjoy destinations without supporting attractions that rely on animal exploitation.

A New Chapter for the Pyramids

With electric transportation replacing camel and horse rides, Egypt is taking a new approach that combines tourism, sustainability, and better protection for working animals at one of the world’s most famous landmarks.
